Recipe for Mixed Vegetable Caldine

Caldine, be it Fish, Prawn or Cauliflower, used to be my Nana's favourite curry.
She would make pieces of bread and dunk it into the curry and eat it. She used
to call it Sweet Curry as this curry does not contain Red Chillies like the
usual curries do and so, we too started calling it that. As kids, we would go to
her house and the minute we knew it was "sweet curry day" we would grab that
orange and white flower chair closest to the table, be seated with our
chaddis(most comfortable) be the best version of ourselves and wait for Nana to
dunk in those soft bread pieces and feed us by closing her eyes, stretching her
hand with each morsel out and waiting for us to eat that morsel pretending that
the "Kanwdo" (crow) came and took it . That is the ONLY way Nana(or anyone)
could bluff me into eating Cauliflower! That memory will be etched forever in my
Heart. My Mum continued Nana's feeding style of the "crow" ritual with all of us
cousins and now we do it with our kids too. So much fun 🙂 🙂

Instructions

1 In a vessel, heat the Oil on medium heat and add the Onion and Chilly and saute
until the Onions turn abit translucent.
2 Once the onions turn translucent, add the tomatoes and sautè
3 Sautè the onion and tomatoes until the tomatoes turn soft and mushy
4 Once the Tomatoes turn soft and mushy, add the Masala paste(recipe link is
shared below)
5 Add about 1/4 cup of water and let it come to a boil. If you're making the
masala on the spot, add the water into the mixer jar after you've finished
grinding and pouring the masala, give the mixer jar a shake shake shake and then
add this water into the curry vessel. This way, we don't waster even a single
drop of masala 🙂 🙂

Note: Caldine is meant to be a little more thicker than Goan Fish or Prawn
curry. However, if you like it like a usual curry, you can adjust the water as
per your preference. Also note, The vegetables will release some some of it's
moisture as it begins to boil. So add water accordingly. I would say, if the
curry requires more water, you can add it later.
6 When the curry begins to boil, add the maggi cube and stir. Let the curry boil
for a good 10-15minutes

Note: I boil my curry for a little longer so that the masala gets fully cooked
and doesn't leave a raw, strong or bitter taste while eating
7 Then, add the vegetables and salt. Give it a mix and put the lid on
8 Let the curry boil on medium heat until the vegetables are fully cooked. Open
the lid at intervals and stir the curry so that it doesn't get stuck at the
bottom of the vessel

Note: In between, you can check if there is enough salt and if you like it more
sweet or tangy, you can add a little more sugar and tamarind juice and stir it
into the curry
9 Once the veggies are fully cooked, turn off the heat. The Sweet Curry is
ready!!! Enjoy this simple yet flavourful Vegetable Caldine with soft Bread or
Steamed Rice.
