Mixed veg (low spice)

Even after being a bong I have never been too passionate about bengali food untill a couple of years back.Its almost since the time I started staying alone in B'lore that I started craving for home made bengali food.In initial days I kept looking for eateries with "bong touch".And now I have started to indulge myself in preparing them myself. Here is a simple mixedveg recipe with the basic bengali phoron the paacnch phoron

Now coming straight to the recipe :

Requirements
---------------
1 Medium size Potato
1 Brinjal
Few stringbeans (barbati)
Few drumsticks
8 small cubes of pumpkin
Some beans
8 cauliflower florets
Any other vegetable of choice can be added
I added few grams of boiled bengal gram also.

Here I would like to mention the use of "bari" .It gives the curry a very hatke taste ...:)
So some fried bari can be added too.
