Kurma without potato,green peas or carrot

I made a dish without following any set rule.The reason was there were many types of fresh vegetables left, but the quantity of each was very less.I could not make the required quantity using a single vegetable.Decided to make a gravy dish with ground masala. Started cutting the vegetables one by one.Heated water in a vessel and started adding the vegetables as i cut.Added the hard one to cook first like beans, then few florets of cauliflower,bottle gourd,bangalore brinjal,zuchini,broccoli,cabbage.All these came to around 4 cups.When they were 3/4 cooked added salt and haldi and set it aside.I proceeded by sauteing the masala and made paste and finally combined with vegetable and it turned out to be a nice kurma.As I had no potato or green peas or carrot at home ,I made with the vegetables that were available and the combination worked good.Thought of sharing this which will be of help to those who might face the same situation.Here goes the "Kurma without potato,peas or carrot".
