Mixed Vegetable Gravy

Today I am blogging about a very simple yogurt based tangy gravy,a perfect side dish for chapathis.The points that draw attraction to this gravy is that there is no grinding required,uses very less spices and all the flavors are from natural healthy ingredients and fresh vegetables.It can be prepared in less than 20 minutes including the time for cutting vegetables.You can even mix this gravy with left over rice to form a quick masala rice.Though it is very simple and less time consuming,it is no less in taste,appearance or richness.try it once to know what I mean :)
