Mixed Vegetable kurma

This is a recipie, which I had came out well by sheer serendipity.

We were given a treat by one of my husband's friends.And I spotted out a dish among them, which looked like a vegetable kurma, it was creamy and green in colour.I did not like the colour, however when I tasted it ,it was really good.I could figure out that there was no chilly powder used in that recipie and wanted to try out similar stuff at home and atlast ended up preparing this dish.
