I didn't have the beans or peas on hand, so substituted cauliflower and broccoli. I used a large can of crushed tomatoes and about two cups of whole grape tomatoes instead of whole canned tomatoes. It turned out to be a flavourful mix of vegetables in spicy tomato sauce. The family enjoyed it served with Spicy Indian Dahl(#63075) and Oriental Cucumber Salad (#26084). I will definitely try this again without substitutions. Thank you ejchristian86 for this new addition to our family favorites.

We had this for dinner tonight with rotis and it went very well. I also tossed in 1/2 cup sliced green bell pepper. Also, to get an interesting twist in flavours, I tossed in 1/2 tsp. of rasam powder. We enjoyed this and I will make it again! Thanks for sharing!
