Mixed Vegetable Sabzi (Mix Veg Curry) is a beloved Pakistani classic made with seasonal vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, and peas, gently cooked in a spiced tomato-onion base. Flavoured with ginger, garlic, and aromatic spices like cumin and turmeric, it’s often finished with fenugreek (methi) and fresh cilantro. The result is a comforting, nutritious dish that pairs perfectly with roti or naan.
The method is simple and traditional: aromatics are sautéed first, tomatoes and spices are cooked down into a rich masala, and vegetables are added in stages—starting with the firmer ones—then simmered until tender and flavourful.
In Urdu and Hindi, this dish is commonly called “Aloo Matar Gajar,” which literally means potatoes, peas, and carrots. It’s a humble, flexible recipe that easily adapts to whatever vegetables you have on hand. I love this dish because it’s quick, easy, and endlessly versatile—perfect for everyday home cooking.
