Vegetable Stew

When I was studying in school, I stayed in a girl’s hostel.  Every Sunday our morning breakfast was bread and vegetable stew. This was the only menu which I liked there.  Whenever I make vegetable stew it takes me to the old days. This is a similar stew which is red in color as ground tomatoes are used.
