Vegetable Yogurt Curry 蔬菜咖哩


I've been seeing quite a lot of people using yogurt to replace coconut milk in curry. So, I gave it a try and it didn't disappoint me. In fact, yogurt's natural sourness is very suitable to the curry.

In this curry, you can find five colors of vegetables in it. Purple from the onion and eggplant. Yellow from the potato. Green from the okra, green chili and mint leaves. Red from the tomato. White from the fresh button mushroom. I'm very satisfied with my meal with only the curry and steamed rice.

1 potato, peeled and cut into pieces
1 round purple eggplant, cut into wedges
half of tomato, cut into wedges

8 pieces of vegetarian mutton
half onion, peeled and chopped
4 tbsp of yogurt
500ml of vegetable stock, from the potato boiling water
