Mixed Vegetable Medley

Nov 23rd 2010

You know the times when you have just too little of each to make anything substantial? 2 carrots, 2 capsicums, one onion, a tad bit of tomato, barely a potato and maybe some peas? Head straight here to this recipe which is sure to use all of that and also leave you wanting some more :)

I should actually call this my one inch recipe, you will soon know why.

Ingredients

• 1 inch square chopped green bell pepper (2 nos)
• 1 inch cubed potatoes (2 medium sized)
• 1 inch cubed carrots (2 nos)
• 1 to 1 1/2 large onion chopped in 1 inch squares
• peas (1/2 cup) - optional
• Tomato ketchup or Maggi hot and sweet chilly sauce ( 3 tbsp)
• salt
• turmeric
• chilly powder (1 tbsp)
• garam masala (1/2 tbsp)
• kasoori methi (1 tbsp)
• oil
• ginger garlic paste (1 tbsp)

Method de Preparation

1. Take oil in a pan, add the ginger garlic paste. Once cooked add the chopped onions.
2. On the side, cook the carrot and potato sprinkled with a little bit of water in the microwave  for about 4 mins (optional).
3. Once the onions are done, add the carrot and potato, saute and cook well. Add salt and a bit of turmeric. If you have not cooked the veggies in the microwave, just cover with a lid and allow to cook some here.
4. Once this is done, add the capsicum, saute some.
5. Add the chilly powder and garam masala. Saute some more.
6. Add the tomato ketchup (Maggi hot and sweet is even better) and allow everything to cook together.
7. Add salt if needed. Season with kasoori methi and turn off heat.
8. Serve with chappatis or with rice and dhal or just pack for lunch the next day.
