Sauteed Mixed Veggies (Traditional Indian Style)

You can prepare a ultimate dry curry by sauteing Potato, Bell Peppers/Capsicum and Carrot all together followed by spicing up with red chilly flakes. This makes a amazing tasty dish which can be enjoyed with Rasam or any dal and hot rice. A big Thanks to my father as I learnt this dish from him. Very easy steps to be followed but chopping the veggies takes more time :-). 
Why can't you give it a try ??
