The first time I made this recipe was for a way to use up a load of vegetables in my fridge. If there is one thing I hate to do after a long day, it’s going to the supermarket. My local Rewe is probably at its busiest after 6pm with long queues and the food sections are rather empty. It’s why I try and make sure I have the ingredients ready in my fridge for when I get home.

This recipe is a great one to whip up last minute. You can use whatever leftover vegetables you have in your fridge or if you are buying the ingredients to make this especially then you can stock up on whatever produce is in season at the moment. And finding good Indian food, especially decent vegetarian Indian food among Berlin’s foodie scene is difficult, but this homemade version is not just quick to make but packed full of vegetables and lots of spice that give this dish a real kick.
