This is a very simple South Indian style veg kurma recipe for Chapathi. I learnt this from my mom..Whenever I pack variety rice(lemon,tomato rice etc) as lunch for my husband, I do chapathi with this mixed veg kurma for dinner so that I get a satisfaction of including all the veggies in his diet. Usually I add more vegetables. If you wish, you can reduce it as per your taste.
