Vegetable Curries Subzi | IndiaCurry.com

Vegetable curries are part of daily diet among Indians. I will limit to vegetables readily available in American stores.

1. There are many different varieties of potatoes in United States. I use Idaho Baking potatoes, followed by Russets.

2. Hari Mirch is not readily available. I use Serrano, it closer in flavor to Hari Mirch than the Jalapeno.

3. American Pumpkin is not same as Indian Pumpkin. The Butternut winter squash is closest to Indian Pumpkin.

4. Onions in India are like a combination of red onions (Bermuda), Shallots and Yellow Spanish onions. For cooking, I use yellow Spanish onions.

5. Tomatoes in India are not watery like slicing tomatoes. Plum tomatoes (Roma tomatoes) are closer to Indian tomatoes.

6. Amchoor is not a common spice in United States. If you don't have Amchoor, locate Citric Acid at canning supplies. If neither the Amchoor nor the Citric acid is available, just use either lemon or lime juice.

7. Lemon in India is not same as lemon in Untied States. Indian lemon is same as limes in United States.
