Panch Phoron Tarkari / Mixed Vegetable Curry - Meghalaya Cuisine

Panch Phoron Tarkari is an easy to make, nutritious, mixed vegetable curry from Meghalaya cuisine(North Eastern State Of India).

Meghalaya cuisine is very new to me and I started exploring the same. Thus I came across this healthy and easy to make recipe full of flavours.

This dish is worth a try and cherish. I have adapted the recipe from Vahrevah

This recipe is my entry to the event "Shhh!!! Cooking Secretly" challenge conducted by Mayuri Patel of Mayuri's Jikoni.  For the month of February, I have paired with Jayashree Trao  who blogs at "https://www.evergreendishes.com " and the ingredients given by her are Potato and red chilli.

Try this simple and tasty Meghalaya Special "Panch Phoron Tarkari" and give your feedback!

  1. I love the sound of this sabzi. The panch phoron must have added a whole lot of flavour to the dish, I'm sure, as opposed to a regular tadka with mustard and/or cumin.
