veg nizami handi recipe | how to make veg hyderabadi nizami handi with step by step photo and video recipe. curry or sabzi recipes are one of the important recipes for most of the meals across india. there are some generic and all-purpose curry recipes practised all over india, and then some region-specific but has gained the attention of all over the mass. one such recipe is the hyderabadi veg nizami handi recipe known for its spice, creaminess and combination of vegetables.

well, to begin with, many would think what could be the speciality of this recipe. or you may think it is just another curry with a fancy and royal name to it. to be honest, it is one of the unique recipes which has a combination of many curry recipes in it. firstly, the use of makhani sauce is very similar to the popular punjabi curries recipe. secondly, the use of spinach or palak is something unconventional in an onion and tomato gravy base curry. lastly, the use of multiple vegetables in this recipe with a creamy gravy base not only makes it healthy but also one of the favourite mixed veg curry recipes.

furthermore, some more additional tips, suggestions and variants to the veg nizami handi recipe. firstly, the choice of vegetables in this recipe is open-ended and you can use a choice of veggies as per your preference. having said that, do not overcrowd it and try to balance the veggies. secondly, the veggies can be either fried or boiled in water to cook vegetables before mixing them with a gravy base. i personally choose the boiling method as it is healthy but deep frying makes it tastier. lastly, if you are a meat eater you may very well add a choice of prefered meat with the veggies. adding meat would make it more authentic and traditional as it is prepared in hyderabad.
