Veg Chili Mili Recipe

on

‘Veg Chili Mili’ sounds like something an Indian family would call their kids (no offense). Sans the ‘veg’, of course. But even though chili and mili would make for really adorable kids, their edible namesake is also a winner.

The veg chili mili consist of finely cut and sliced veggies along with cottage cheese in a mildly-spiced creamy cashew nut gravy. The cashew nuts tone down the chili of this mili but you can adjust the spice according to your palate. Follow this recipe to whip up a veg chili mili at home.chillimilli-600x380
