INGREDIENTS:
- 2 medium sized Potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
- 2 Brinjals, slit length wise and cut into half
- 1 Carrot, peeled and cut into pieces
- 1 medium sized Onion, peeled and sliced
- ½ floret of Cauliflower, cut and boiled in hot water
- 2 Tomatoes, chopped into pieces
- 5-6 French beans, trim of edges and cut into pieces
- 2 Green chills, slight length wise
- 2-3 sprig of Coriander leaves, chopped
- 2-3 Mint leaves, chopped
- 1 tbsp Ginger-Garlic paste
- 1 tbsp Red chili powder
- ½ tbsp Turmeric powder
- Salt
- 1 1’inch stick of Cinnamon
- 2 Cardamom’s
- 2 Cloves
- 1 Bay leaf
- Oil
PREPARATION:
- In a heavy bottom cooking vessel, add oil.
- When oil gets heated up add, cinnamon, cardamoms, cloves and bay leaf. When these spices start to leave their aroma, add sliced onions and fry until translucent. Now add chopped tomatoes and fry until tomatoes are half done. Add green chilies, ginger-garlic paste, salt, red chili powder, turmeric powder and cook for 2 min stirring lightly.
- Once the tomatoes are soft, add potatoes, brinjals, carrot, cauliflower, french beans and mix gently. Fry the ingredients for 1 minute and then add little water and cover the vessel. Cook for another 15 minutes or until the vegetables are soft.
- Add coriander and mint leaves and turn of the flame. Serve hot with rice or rice or bread.
- Last but not least add your ‘love’ to make the dish ‘YUMMY’.
PRESSURE COOK METHOD: To ease the work, sometimes, I fry spices and onions in pressure cooker and then add all the vegetables along with salt, red chili powder, turmeric powder with little water and pressure cook for 2-3 whistles or until vegetables are soft. Dry the excess water by keeping the cooker on the flame and stirring gently. Garnish with mint and coriander leaves.
TIPS: Par boiling the vegetables in microwave or pressure cooker can even ease your work.
CHOICE OF VEGETABLES AND VARIATIONS: You can even add peas, baby corn, fresh methi leaves, paneer, bell peppers (red/ yellow/ green). More vegetables, more flavours…..You can even add fresh cream or butter to make the recipe sinfull…..
