MIX VEGETABLE BHAJI

This one is the favourite recipe of mine as well as of my hubby, If you are bored with the regular vegetables, try this mixed version. It is completely different from the other veggies. You can get all vegetables taste in one veggies and gives unique flavour to it. A rich and spicy bhaji loaded with fried veggies nothing but our own Mix Veg Sabzi!! This bhaji is made in various ways, super dry form, super gravy form. After having some mix veg in a restaurant which was made in such a form which was neither dry nor filled with gravy. I got mesmerized !!Tried to replicate the sabzi and it was marvellous ,way better than the restaurant one ! So here is my recipe of mix veg which is very easy and simple.

INGREDIENTS:

½ Cup Cauliflower

¼ Cup Carrot

2 Medium Sized Toamto

 ¼ Cup Potato

½ Cup Capsicum

2 Medium Sized Onion

8-10 Cubes Paneer [optional]

½ teaspoon Ginger-Garlic Paste

1 ½ tablespoon Oil

           ¼ teaspoon Turmeric Powder

2 teaspoon Red Chilli Powder

1 teaspoon Dry Coriander Powder

1 teapspoon Garam Masala

          1  teaspoon Kashmiri Chilli Powder [optional]

½ teaspoon Kasoori Methi

Salt as per taste

¼ teaspoon Cumin Seeds

Coriander

¼ Cup Water

METHOD:

 STEP 1 – Chop all the veggies, wash them and pat dry.

STEP 2 – In a kadhai or thick bottomed pan heat oil.

STEP 3 – Add cumin seeds, once they splutter, add the chopped onions. Saute them until transparent.

STEP 4 – Add giner-garlic paste. Roast it well for a minute or till the raw smell disappears.

STEP 5 – Add tomatoes and sauté till they become soft and pulpy. When the mixture becomes smooth and one then add all the spices in it and mix well. [ The process of frying the tomatoes takes a little longer. If you want to quicken the process, add some salt to the onion-tomato mixture. Fry the tomatoes on a low flame as you don’t want the tomatoes to get burnt.]

STEP 6 – Now add the chopped veggies, give a stir and add salt and water. Add kasoori methi in it and mix.

STEP 7 – Cover and let the veggies cook. Once they are semi cooked,add cream and give a stir.

STEP 8 – Cover again and simmer the veggies till they are done.

STEP 9 – Don’t forget to check the veggies after occasionally.

STEP 10 – Add more water if the water dries up and if the veggies are still to be cooked.

STEP 11 – If using paneer, then add the paneer once the veggies are cooked. Simmer without the lid for a minute. Switch off the gas stove and garnish it with chopped coriander and serve.

Serve mix vegetable dish hot with chapati, pooris, paratha, kulcha or naan.

NOTE: You can add fried paneer to your dish.

I don’t have paneer, so I didn’t used it.
