Indian Curried Vegetable Yogurt Appetizer

This is a great dish that goes well with Indian unleavened bread (chapati) or sesame crackers or pita bread. Or you can eat it with toasted Italian bread.

Yogurt is great for health. It contains "friendly" bacteria that strengthen the immune system and help ulcers heal more quickly. Yogurt also may help prevent recurrent yeast infections. It is also a rich source of calcium.
