Baked (Tandoori) Vegetables image

'Tandoori' means from the oven. This dish fits the busy lifestyle perfectly, especially when you have to make larger quantities. The baked look is very appealing too. Use frozen veggies as desired. You may make it in advance and refrigerate. (From the cookbook 'Recipes with a Spice - Indian Cuisine for Balanced Nutrition')
