Vegetable Jalfrezi

I often feel that my vegetarian friends have much lesser options than the non-vegetarians, when comes to having exotic, different and delicious recipes. So I thought of another quick veggie option which is very popular in most of the restaurants and i.e "Vegetable Jalfrezi". It is an easy to make, delightfully quick vegetable mix in a tomato gravy.

Ingredients:

• 120 gm beans
• 120 gm cabbage
• 120 gm capsicum
• 120 gm carrots
• 1/2 of the whole cauliflower
• 4 tbsp cooking oil
• 1 tsp cumin seeds
• 2 tsp chopped ginger
• 1/2 tsp pepper powder
• 120 gm potato (cut into thick strips like french fries)
• 2 whole red chillies
• 4 tbsp tomato puree (I use the tomato ketchup for tanginess)
• 1 tbsp Vinegar
• 1 tbsp coriander leaves (for garnishing)
• salt to taste

Method:

1. Wash and chop all the vegetables, except potatoes.
2. Heat oil in a heavy bottom pan. Add the cumin & whole red chillies and saute.
3. Add all the vegetables, salt, pepper & ginger. Mix well. Cover with lid & cook on slow flame till almost tender. Do not add water and let it cook within its steam. Stir often
4. Add tomato puree & the vinegar. Cook till done. Garnish it with coriander leaves and serve with rotis or any fried rice.

PS:- Add the tomato puree & vinegar only after the vegetables are fully tender. If you put it before hand then the vegetables won't cook and will be half done. I use only 4 tbsp of tomato puree as I don't like more of tomato gravy in my plate. If you want more gravy, add more puree and vinegar accordingly. :)
