Mixed Vegetable curry

Happy Pongal to every one!!!!.. Since it is a special and very important festival I decide to make some tasty vegetarian curry. But, I was surprised to find that there are not many vegetarian recipes online. It took me almost 4 hours to decide on this recipe -- and its totally worth making. I made this dish with help of my friends Rowena and Ahra - and even they liked it.  It was fun cooking with them. Since all three of us like spicy food - we made it really spicy. But still we couldn't stop eating!!!!!
