Learn how to make restaurant-style Diwani Handi Vegetables at home with this easy handi veg recipe. Mixed vegetables and cashews simmered in a rich tomato-based sauce. Gluten-free & soy-free, Nutfree option.

Diwani Handi is a popular order in many Indian restaurants and I know you will love it, too! Veggies cooked to perfection in a thick, rich and creamy slightly spicy gravy. This traditional Indian dish also known as Diwani handi veg is a traditional Hyderabadi style dish that exists in many different versions. The most popular variations to this recipe feature either an onion tomato or a nut-based gravy, or a combination of both. For this recipe, I use a tomato-based gravy enriched with non-dairy yogurt or cream.

This diwani handi recipe is a simple homemade version of the restaurant-style vegetable dish. This simple vegetable curry is traditionally cooked in a clay pot (handi) but any pot will work. I use a regular skillet.

Indian recipes often get translated as veggies or protein with some creamy sauce. But they are not all the same. The spices used, the time at which they are added to the recipe, alter the flavor profile significantly. In this recipe the whole cumin seeds get toasted really well to add amazing flavor, the spices cook with the caramelizing onion, then yogurt adds a creamy base and onion and tomato add volume. Veggies are cooked with garlic and fenugreek to infuse a layer of flavor before simmering in the sauce.l! Use up any veggies you have and elevate them with this wildly flavorful curry.

Serve your handi veg with rice, naan, roti, kulcha, plain biryani or jeera rice.

  • 1/2 inch ginger minced
  • 1/2 hot green chili minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika Or Kashmiri red chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground coriander
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) non-dairy yogurt or use any non-dairy cream of choice
  • 1/2 cup (125 ml) tomato puree or unseasoned tomato sauce about 4 ounces
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup of water

For the vegetables:

  • 1 teaspoon oil
  • 2 garlic cloves thinly sliced

  • 1/2 to 1 cup (90 g) of other vegetables of choice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • cilantro and lemon juice for garnish

Instructions

  • Make the sauce: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is really hot, add in the cumin seeds and bay leaves and cook until the cumin seeds are very fragrant.

  • Then add in onion, a pinch of salt, and mix well and cook for 2 minutes then add in the ginger and chili and mix well and continue to cook until the onion is nearly golden brown.

  • Add in the paprika, ground coriander, and mix well.

  • Then add in yogurt and the tomato puree and salt and mix well. Bring to a good boil then add in the water. Mix well and set aside.

  • To make the vegetables: heat another skillet over medium-high heat. Add in 1 teaspoon of oil. Once hot, add in the garlic cloves, fenugreek leaves, and mix. Then cook until the garlic is just starting to turn golden.

  • Then quickly add in the ground cumin and cashews and mix well. Cook until the cashews start to turn golden. You want to stir frequently so that the garlic doesn’t burn.

  • Add in the cauliflower, carrots, potatoes, and vegetables, and salt and mix well. Toss well to coat. Cook uncovered for 4-5 minutes.

  • Stir occasionally then cover the skillet, Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the vegetables are just about done.

  • Add in the sauce and mix well. Bring it to a boil. Taste and adjust salt and flavor. If you want saucier dish then add in  1/2 to 1 cup of non-dairy milk and bring to a boil then take off heat. Add quick cooking veggies if using, such as peas now.

  • Taste and adjust flavor. Top with cilantro, pepper flakes if you like, and lemon juice, and serve with roti, naan , or rice.

Notes

To make this nut-free, just omit the cashews. You can also add in some pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds instead.

Ingredients:

  • tomato puree or unseasoned tomato sauce is the base of our gravy
  • for richness, I add non-dairy yogurt but you can use any non-dairy cream of choice

Tips & Substitutions:

  • To make this nut-free, just omit the cashews. You can also add in some pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds instead
  • For a less spicy version, omit the chili
