What vegetables can I add to curry?

I buy the generic curry mix in a box at the local asian market. What kind of vegetables could I put in it? Should I mince, dice, or chop the vegetables?

green beans
yellow squash
cucumbers
red peppers
green peppers
onion
garlic

This year we tried eggplant (add it the last 20 minutes) and taro (added from the beginning like potato)

Hope you try it, it’s really good!
(ohh, the Japenese skinny purple eggplants, not the american kind at the market, okay)

The size all depends on you, do you like it bite sized or larger..it’s really your choice!

1/2 large onion, finely chopped
2 large carrots, sliced
1 pinch red pepper flakes
1 head cauliflower, broken into small florets
2 large potatoes, peeled and cubed

chop them all the same size..carrots, onions, green peppers, red peppers, yellow peppers and zucchini..never had any other vegetables in it..this is how we ate it in japan on the local economy

Broc, cauliflower, zuke, bell peppers, tomatoes. Pretty much anything you like.

Cut the veggies according to how long they take to cook. Carrots, for example, take a while so cut them smaller. Zuke takes very little time so leave it in bigger chunks.

Do not cut these veg into small pieces as they will shrink during cooking; do not dice, never mince as they will mash. Cut into large pieces…

cabbage
string beans
brinjals (eggplant)
carrots
potatoes
spanish onions

All of above are suitable combination veg (3-4)for curries; you would need to make sure there’s enough curry mix (portion) to the quanitity of veg in the dish.

Also good are tomatoes, potatoes, and garbanzo beans.

The most common vegetables you can add to your curry is

1) okra (lady fingers) –> Most common
2) brinjal (eggplant)
3) cinnamon
4) long beans

less common
5) mint
6) bean sprout

non-vege but must have
7)potato
8)onion

We tend to eat curry here like a stew. I usually add Potatoes, Carrots, Onions, Celery, and Bell Peppers. I tend to leave the pieces big, and add them in order of how long it takes each to cook. If I’m in a hurry, or I need something fast and easy, I cook the meat and curry sauce, then I rinse a bag of frozen stir-fry vegetables in warm water to remove the ice crystals and separate them. I stir it into my curry and let it cook long enough to heat the veggies. We usually eat our curry over rice. Different from traditional Indian curries, but that’s Hawaii for you. We take a taste we like and add our own twist.

I’d recommend just getting a frozen bag of vegetable medley.

Below is a link to Alton Brown’s (of Good Eats – Food Network) vegetable curry recipe (which I’ve used, it’s real good). He builds the curry from scratch, building it as it’s made, but uses frozen vegetables.

cabbage, string beans, eggplant, carrots, potatoe & onions

Depends what type of curry you are cooking.
Chicken curry – potatoes, quartered, don’t overcook it.
Fish curry – eggplant, ladyfinger (okra), tomatoes (quartered and put just before closing the fire).

Put potatoes in any meat curries, it’ll taste nice. Add a bit of carrots, cut into pieces. Don’t put too much different types of vegetable in your curries. Rather, make a salad.

any veg that you like, I would roughly chop them into bite pieces

Chop, vegetables or some times roots, so have fun.
