    Types of sabzi

    There are two types of curries in India, dry sabji and wet tari wali or gravy based curries. Both the curries are quite popular. While the wet curry usually has a tomato base or is made with yogurt , dry ones are usually stir fries of the core vegetable or have potatoes in it. The tempering might differ according to the region. For example, South Indian style would use oil, ginger, garlic mustard seeds chillies and may have coconut . North Indian style uses cumin seeds, ginger garlic chili majorly. Both the styles of tempering are used in combination with onions tomatoes and potatoes.

    Amount of powdered spices added to South Indian style is much lesser compared to North Indian style. However, depending on days of the week, customs and tithi, garlic and onions may be used or avoided across India. Thus, the same vegetable gets a different flavor. If sour elements are used we cook in a stainless steel pan. Cook with ghee instead of oil for vegetarian version. The west and east style of cooking uses peanut oil and mustard oil usually. Most oils are used according to the regional produce.
