Veg Chilli Milli

Veg Chilli Milli is the Punjabi delicacy made with Shredded Cabbage, Carrot and Capsicum. These mixed vegetables are cooked in tomato based gravy and then spiced up with fresh Indian spices. I like to garnish this dish with some fried green chilies. Because the name of the dish is Veg Chilli Milli and fried green chilies brings a warm flavor in it.

It’s a famous dish in our near by restaurant and a favorite dish of my hubby. Since he likes the dish very much I thought of attempting my version at home after tasting this twice there.

It is true that sometimes we just can not match the taste of the food, that we had in the restaurants, but then too I like to try everything at home. I almost matched the taste, what we had at the restaurant. The dish turned out a tempting and a finger licking and we enjoyed it with Tandoori Roti and Butter Naan. This Mix Veg Chilli Milli/ Vegetable Chilli Milli made my day a “HAPPY DAY”.
