Unfortunately the recipe in the book seems to have been written in a hurry. There is no mention of what vegetables he used and even the proportion of the tomato sauce and cream is not very clear
The gravy is an aromatic thick tomato creamy one with a curry powder (no, not that bottled one sold as an Indian spice) that has been made from scratch...the combination of flavours is very aromatic and after a few trials with the quantities of various ingredients, I have settled on this adaptation..
From the picture in the book, I figured he has used brocolli, asparagus, red capsicum and mushrooms - I didnt have any of these at home, so stuck to the regular cauliflower, carrots and capsicum...
The first time I made this, I used tomato ketchup like they mentioned in the recipe. I wasnt too happy with the result. The next time I pureed the tomatoes and it was much nicer.
This goes really well with steamed rice

Loved this curry, looks yum ! I am sure the made from scratch curry powder added a fabulous flavor to it!
About your question on the oat sago dosai, I haven't tried it with quick oats just rolled oats. But I don't see why you cannot use quick oats, just soak the quick oats separately for 30 mins to an hour and grind along with all the other grains. Should work, please let me know how it turns out...
It looks yummy yummy!!! :-))

This is a fantastic healthy package for sure :) yummy :)
Love your clicks too dear. Especially Bisi bele bhath is awesome :)
Wow this curry looks so rich and creamy...bookmarked! About your question on soaking the syrup in orange juice, yes u can but try using cranberry if you get, the main reason for using cranberry is that the juice is very sour so when soak the spices in them, it gives taste of wine :) But if you dont get cranberry you can definately go ahead with orange
