Quick Curried Vegetables

My husband was recently required to bring a Pot Luck dish to a belated Christmas work gathering. Initially I was thinking I would send along a Vegetarian Lasagne but then I saw the sign up sheet… Seems Luke’s workmates like Indian!  The Sign Up sheet looked a bit Meat Heavy so I volunteered Lightly Spiced Indian Rice with Peas, Quick Curried Vegetables and Naan.
