Cut the veggies small and the same size, so they cook well in similar cooking time. Lightly spice this curry, as it has so much flavor from the veggies. You can increase or decrease the spice level by adjusting the amount of red chili powder. I love to add mild Kashmiri red chili powder which adds to the wonderful color of this curry.
