The number of Curry Recipes, the Indian food culture holds in itself is really astounding, especially for someone who is not from India. Thus, this country truly is synonymous with the word ‘curry.’ This post talks about one such famous curry dish, the Veg Handi, also known as the Veg Diwani Handi – a rich, creamy and delicious gravy made with mixed vegetables, traditionally from Hyderabadi cuisine. This recipe is a very restaurant-style version of the dish, for which you definitely would need to put in some efforts. But once done, it will all be worth.
What is handi
It is obvious from the name Veg Handi that this dish is made in a typical Indian cooking vessel called the ‘handi.’ With a shallow depth and a wide mouth and bottom, handi is popularly used Indian cooking as a cooking vessel. Thus, like this Diwani Handi, other recipes made in a handi are named so – Paneer Handi, handi pulao, handi biryani, etc.
For this Veg Handi, I have used a clay handi, which is also the case with any such dish which traditionally uses a clay or any earthen handi to cook it. Like if you visit any iconic eateries in Hyderabad too, they too use the same to get a royal and earthy flavor in the Veg Handi.
But I understand at home, you might not have this specific cooking utensil to make this dish. In that case, you can even use a steel handi or a regular kadai, pot or pan. Many dishes in Indian cuisine like Kadai Paneer Gravy and Kadai Veg are cooked in the humble kadai.
Similarly, if you travel to different regions in India, there are other cooking vessels with different names that are equivalent to a handi. Some of them are degchi, tasla or tasli and ahuna. Basically, a dish cooked in a handi is usually slow-cooked or simmered for a long time.
Sometimes, it is sealed with a dough to sustain the steam within that helps to retain the nutrients in the dish. Thus, the food gets cooked in its own juices or moisture, further enhancing the flavors and textures in it. The much-loved event ‘dahi handi’ is also a part of the festivities of Krishna Janmashtami.
Who doesn’t like restaurant food at home? We also do, and are no exceptions. And once a while, it is also alright to be indulgent and consume such food. After all, we don’t really eat binge on restaurant food every day.
I have taken inspiration from the rich, filling food served in restaurants for this recipe of Veg Handi. Though the ingredient list is quite long, it is an easy and simple recipe that I have developed by referring ‘On The Butter Chicken Trail: A Moti Mahal Cookbook.’
The gravy of this recipe of Veg Handi also has a base made with onions, tomatoes, cashews paste and cream. Hence, the flavors are a bit sweet, mild as well as creamy. Generally, the vegetables are fried or sautéed for this dish. However, I have steamed the veggies.
My choice of vegetables for this Veg Diwani Handi are carrots, potatoes, French beans, green peas, cauliflower and corn kernels. I also like the taste of mushrooms in this curry, so have added them too. Along with this, I also add paneer or cottage cheese to give it a richer feel. You can add whatever your choice is. Tinned fruit cocktail can also be added towards the end in the recipe.
Just a bit of prep work is required to prepare the cashew paste and steam the veggies. After this is done, cooking the Veg Handi is a breeze. Cooking the veggies in the gravy is also an option. But I prefer to steam them separately and do the remaining prep work, while they are steaming.
The Veg Handi pairs great with tandoori rotis, naans, parathas or even your homely chapattis, phulkas or plain rotis. You can have it with steamed rice as well.
How to make Veg Handi
Preparation
1. Soak 3 tablespoons (20 t0 22) cashews in hot water for 30 minutes.
2. After 30 minutes, drain and add them to a grinder or blender.
3. Add water and blend to a smooth paste.
4. While the cashews are soaking, rinse, peel and chop the vegetables. You can add vegetables of your choice.
5. Steam the vegetables in a pressure cooker, steamer or electric cooker, till they are cooked completely. You can also fry or sauté the vegetables.
Making gravy
6. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a handi or pan. Keep the heat to the lowest, so that the butter does not brown or burn.
7. Add whole spices – ½ inch cinnamon, 2 green cardamoms, 2 single strands of mace, 2 cloves and 1 small to medium bay leaf (tej patta). Sauté the spices till fragrant.
8. Add ½ cup finely chopped onions.
9. Stir and sauté the onions on low heat.
10. The onions need to become golden.
11. Then, add 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste, 1 teaspoon chopped coriander leaves and 1 teaspoon chopped mint leaves. Stir and sauté for a minute.
12. Add ½ cup finely chopped tomatoes.
13. Stir and sauté till the tomatoes soften, become pulpy and you see fat leaving the sides of the mixture.
14. Then, add ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder, ½ teaspoon red chili powder and ½ to ¾ teaspoon coriander powder.
15. Add the prepared cashew paste and 1 tablespoon yogurt (curd). Curd is optional and gives a faint sour taste in the gravy. You can easily skip, if you do not prefer curd.
16. Sauté till you see fat releasing from the sides. Stir often.
17. Add 1 cup water and stir.
18. Then, add 1 to 2 slit green chilies.
19. Stir again and let the gravy begin to simmer. Takes about 3 to 4 minutes on low to medium heat.
20. Season with salt. You can also add sugar for a light sweet taste. Stir again.
Making Veg Handi
21. Add the steamed vegetables.
22. Stir very well and simmer the vegetables in the gravy for 2 to 3 minutes. The gravy will begin to thicken.
23. Grate a bit of nutmeg directly in the gravy. About a pinch of grated nutmeg or nutmeg powder.
24. Then, add ½ teaspoon crushed dried fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi) and ¼ teaspoon garam masala powder. Stir.
25. Lastly add 3 tablespoons cream. I added Amul cream. Use a low fat cream.
26. After adding cream, stir the Veg Handi gravy well and then switch off the heat.
27. Garnish with chopped coriander or mint leaves and serve Veg Handi with tandoori rotis, naan, parathas or chapattis or roomali rotis.
Expert Tips
- If adding mushrooms, you’ll have to sauté them. Once the tomatoes have softened and turned pulpy, add mushrooms and sauté till they are cooked.
- In case you don’t have the clay handi, use a steel handi or your everyday kadai, pan or pot to make this dish.
- The vegetables for this gravy can be of your choice. You can steam them in a pressure cooker, electric cooker or steamer or fry or sauté them too.
- Adding curd (yogurt) in this recipe is optional. Remember, adding it will impart a faint sour taste in the curry. So, skip if you want to.
- If you don’t have nutmeg at home, skip adding it in the gravy.
- Make sure to use a low-fat cream for this gravy.

Hello ma’am. Its always a pleasure to go through ur blog and all ur recpies plus the very nice depiction of images makes cooking even more feasible.
I am a beginner, probably my question might sound stupid. I wanted to ask does the handi over here means earthern pot??? If yes how hv u used it on gas stove??
Thanks Bhavya. Handi can be made of any substance like clay, steel or iron. basically its the shape of utenstil. this clay pot is from kerala and one can easily use it on fire. in tamil nadu, goa and kerala different types of clay utensils are available, that can be used for cooking. they just have to be seasoned and treated before using for cooking.

Can I first dry roast the spices and then grind them into a powder instead of using them whole?
don’t powder the spices and add. the result will be different in the gravy. if you don’t want the spices, then do not add them.
Hi dear. This recipe seems to be awesome. I wanted to ask you that can it be prepared a day before for a party or the taste will not be that good as that of a freshly prepared one.
Thanks Rajyashree. you can prepare veg handi a day before and keep in the fridge. the taste will change slightly but will still taste good. However freshly prepared food is always healthy and more tasty.
Veg handi came out very well my 2 yr Lo enjoyed thank u so much fr lovely recipe

Thank you once again for this delicious recipe, I prepared this for dinner tonight, and it was awesome…… In fact it was looking just like urs veg handi….but I want to ask something in pictures there is a clay handi or mitti ki handi, but I used regular pan……does it make any difference in taste?? And pl tell me also that can I use clay pot or handi directly on gas?? Because i am desperate to cook dum biryani and want to use clay pot for this.. Pl tell me how should I do this??
welcome richa. thanks for sharing your positive feedback. cooking on clay will give slight earthy flavor and old world charm. yes, you can use clay pot or handi directly on gas. ask the potter from where you buy about using the clay pot directly on gas.

love this recipe, especially that it’s made in a mud handi 🙂
thanks nags
I tried this…It was very good even without nutmeg powder,kasuri methi and cream as i had no stock.Thanks for sharing this and even my little one enjoyed this…
good to know uma. without cream also veg handi will taste good. nutmeg and kasuri methi just add to the flavor, but without them the gravy is good.
Really very nice recipe.
Very easy n yummy recipes.
It has become very easy to cook restaurant type food at home for those who cannot afford it frequently thanks
thanks kalpana. in fact when we cook at home, its much cheaper then we order or have at the restaurants.
Love the creamy texture the handi has. Thanks for sharing this recipe. Well captured pics.
welcome supriya
slurp ! i have tried diwani handi 😀 but this one is tempting me to try 🙂 lovely recipe
thanks aparna
Hi Dear,
the dish looks simply awsum n classy, i would give it a try on saturday, but just wanna ask you is it necessary to cook in mud handi, if we dont have it what could b the optional way to cook it?
thanks deepti, mud handi will definitely give a different flavor. but you can cook in any other steel handi or in a pan or kadai also.
