Instructions
Masala Preparation
In a Kadai or thick bottomed pan, heat oil.
Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
Then add finely chopped onions and sauté onions till they turn light golden.
Then add the ginger-garlic paste. Sauté till the raw aroma of both ginger and garlic goes away.
Then add the tomatoes. Keep on stirring till the tomatoes become soft and pulpy.
The process of frying the tomatoes takes a little longer. If you want to quicken the process, add a pinch of salt to the onion-tomato mixture. Fry the tomatoes on a low flame as you don’t want the tomatoes to get burnt.
When the mixture becomes smooth and you see oil releasing from the sides, then add turmeric powder, Kashmiri red chili powder, coriander powder, and garam masala powder.
Mix spice powders very well with the onion-tomato mixture.
Preparation - Step by step process
Now add the chopped veggies, green peas, and green chilies.
Add water and salt as per taste. Cover the pan with a lid and let the veggies cook on a low to medium flame.
Once the veggies are half cooked, add the cream or malai, or milk. Stir well.
Cover again with a lid and simmer the veggies till they are done.
Don’t forget to check the vegetables occasionally at intervals.
Add more water if the water dries up and if the veggies are still to be cooked.
Once the veggies are cooked and the mixed veg curry is done, then switch off the flame and add 3 tablespoons chopped coriander leaves. Mix well. if using paneer, then add the paneer before you add the coriander leaves and simmer for a few seconds.
You can also garnish the veg curry with fried paneer cubes. Otherwise, simply garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
Serve mix veg hot with pooris, parathas, kulcha or chapatis.
