Mixed Vegetable Chutney, also known as Veg Chutney, South Indian Veg Thogayal, or Masala Vegetable Dip, is a flavorful and healthy side dish made using a blend of seasonal vegetables, spices, and herbs. This chutney is a perfect way to use leftover veggies like carrots, beans, and cauliflower, and is sauteed with onion, garlic, ginger, green chillies, and tomatoes to enhance the taste.
Heat oil in a kadai. Add in onions, ginger, garlic, green chilli in it and saute for a min. Add in turmeric powder and saute for 30 sec.
Add in tomatoes and saute for couple of mins. Now add in the vegetables along with the water and mix well. Cook until vegetables are tender. Add in sugar and mix well. Increase the heat and cook for a good 10 mins or so. This will evaporate the water and makes the vegetables get more flavour and loses its raw taste.
Allow this to cool a bit, take the vegetables in a mixer and add coriander leaves, tamarind, salt. Now puree this. You can make it little chunky or do it very smooth. Transfer the chutney to a bowl.
Now make tempering by heating oil and crackling mustard, urad dal, cumin, dry chilli and asafoetida. Once it is crackled pour it over the chutney and mix well. Serve with dosa.
