Pachmisali Torkari (Mix Veg)

As Indians, we have all grown up with spices in our lives- in our day to day cooking and sometimes, even for medicinal uses. Food without spices are not even considered edible and it need not be a whole medley of spices, even a single spice can sometime elevate any dish. While the rest of the country uses mostly powdered spices in their cooking and have a variety of spice mixes, we Bongs go with the whole spices for tempering first in the oil and then adding the vegetables or the protein and finally adding the powdered spices (if at all) and slow cooking the masalas along with the vegetables or proteins.
