A veg platter is a meal that combines a variety of vegetarian dishes served together on a single platter, offering a diverse range of flavors and textures in one convenient and delicious meal. In this article, we will explore the concept of a veg platter, how to make it at home, and some tips for creating the perfect veg platter that is both visually appealing and tasty.
What is a Veg Platter?
A veg platter is a collection of vegetarian dishes served together on a single platter. The dishes can range from appetizers to main courses to sides and desserts. The dishes can be served hot or cold and can be arranged in small portions to allow for sampling.
One of the biggest benefits of ordering or making a veg platter is the variety it provides. Instead of selecting a single dish, you get to experience a multitude of flavors and textures. Veg platters can be a convenient option for those who want to enjoy a diverse range of dishes without having to order each one separately.

Instructions:
Par boil the baby potatoes and cauliflower florets in a pan for about 10 minutes. Make sure they don't become too soft.
In a bowl, whisk the curd until smooth. Add the deggi mirch, ginger garlic paste, kasuri methi, salt, coriander powder, gram flour, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon oil, and garam masala to the curd and mix well.
Marinate the potatoes, cauliflower, and mushrooms (if using) in the batter. Also, add the onion and capsicum cubes to the mixture. Place the marinated vegetables in the fridge for 1.5-2 hours.
