This is an easy and healthy vegetarian dinner you can spend a few minutes prepping the night before (chopping all the veggies), cook for a few minutes in the morning, and let your Crock Pot do the rest. Feel free to add different vegetables to suit your family’s preferences.
You’ll come home to a fragrant cloud of Indian spices. Cook up some quick rice and dinner is served.

June 26, 2014 at 10:15 am (10 years ago)Cindy, that’s cooked bell pepper, not tomato.

June 30, 2014 at 6:35 am (10 years ago)This looks delish. What size of crock pot was used?
Stephanie Saunders
June 30, 2014 at 9:14 pm (10 years ago)Thanks Pip! I made it in a 3 quart slow cooker. You could also double the recipe and make it in a larger one.

August 25, 2014 at 6:55 pm (10 years ago)I made this tonight and it seems really dry. I threw a little water in with it do it wouldn’t burn, some pieces against the sides still burned since I didn’t add much liquid. Do you ever add liquid?
