Ingredients for Vegetables in Hot Garlic Sauce

The best to make this spicy hot curry is that you can customize it as per your taste and the availability  of vegetables.

The heat in the vegetable curry comes from the chili flakes and red chilli sauce or siracha. Add tangy taste with vinegar( I use apple cider). Many add tomato ketchup also, but I prefer to add brown sugar for the hint of sweet taste.

Veggies- Use any fresh and seasonal veggies which are availabe at your place.

Bell Peppers(any color)  or colored Capsicums (as known in India) are a must in any Chinese recipe. These add crunch and a lot of peppery flavor.

Bak Choy- I got a bunch of Bak Choy from the vegetable vendor. Skip if it is not availabe.

Carrots- I have added Delhi Red Carrot which is a seasonal carrot variety availabe in North India during winter season. You can use Orange carrots.

Mushrooms-I love to add mushrooms(button mushroom) in most of Indo-Chinese dishes. This edible fungi also adds a meaty texture to any veggie based curry. You can add any other variety of mushroom whichever you prefer. Re-hydrate the dried mushrooms before adding to the sauce.

Broccoli Florets and Baby Corn are the another favourite veggies that I love to use. Add so much crunch and flavor along with nutrition to the curry.

Herbs- Spring Onions(both bulb and stalk), Garlic Cloves, Ginger.

I also added Fresh Green Garlic as it is locally availabe in winters and adds a nice fresh garlic taste to curries. No worries if you do not have it.

You can also add Zucchini, Sweet peas, Cauliflower, Cabbage(purple/green), Eggplant/Aubergine, Bamboo Shoots,  Napa Cabbage are a few to name here.

Moong Sprouts, Tofu and Paneer can also be added in the recipe to add the protein to the curry.

Do not sauté veggies for long. It will become soggy and loose the crunch.

Sauces- Checkout the recipe card to detailed list.

Sesame Oil adds a nice nutty flavour, but if you do not have it , use any other good plant based oil.

Those with gluten allergies can use gluten-free Soy Sauce or Tamari Sauce.

Also, I have added arrowroot for the thickening the sauce. It is gluten -free and can be easily used by everyone. You can also add cornstarch/cornflour(as known in India).

Steps to prepare Vegetables in Garlic Sauce

Chop Ginger and Garlic very finely. You can use a chopper for that. Please check the link below if you don't have one. These kind of mini choppers are very handy to when we need to finely chop veggies or herbs.

Can I make ahead of parties and store the Vegetables in Garlic Sauce

It is best enjoyed when served pipping hot freshly made. But you can also, refrigerate it once it cools down completely. Best is 1 day. I haven't stored it for longer period so can't comment.

For parties, you can prepare all the veggies a day ahead, and make the sauce, add veggies a few hours before serving. Veggies in cooked gravy loose a bit of crunch and shine. so I prefer to make it on the same day when guests are coming over. Reheat it and then serve.

The sauce thickens on cooling. Reheat on ow to medium flame and adjust the consistency of sauce as required.

Add salt very carefully as the sauces used (soy and red chilli sauce/siracha) are salted.
