Mixed Vegetable Subji Recipe /Mixed Vegetable Subzi

     Occasionally we buy some subzi from a caterer friend, when we have a busy weekend and need something for a quick fix side-dish to pair up with the store-bought wheat tortilla. I got the urge to try this mixed vegetable subzi recipe from one of our weekend-subzi-orders from the caterer. For me, the tough and tedious part was in chopping the vegetables. Other than portion, I feel this is an easy wholesome and also a colourfully appealing dish. 
Also a great way to make use of any of the left out vegetables in your fridge before your vegetable shopping for the week !!
