Spiced Yellow & Green Courgettes With Potatoes, Peas, And Carrots

Here’s another one for my vegan fam… I’m in love with seasonal yellow courgettes from @natoora. They are buttery and sweeter in flavour than their green cousins and keep their gorgeous vibrant colour when cooking.  

Of course, I had to ‘masala-fy’ them, cooked with onions, tomatoes, my homegrown curry leaves, mustard seeds, ginger, garlic and those quintessential Indian spices along with potatoes, peas and carrots.  Such a simple, nutritious, delicious and super quick weeknight dinner.

I’ve made this dish twice in the last couple of weeks, once served with Rotis/ chapatis and then also with steaming hot basmati rice… both times, it was devoured by the kiddos… always winning when the kids gobble up veggies!!

Don’t worry if you can’t get a hold of yellow courgettes, use the green variety, and the dish will still turn out scrumptious.
