Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: Indian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, potatoes)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 tomatoes, chopped
- 2 green chilies, chopped
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- Salt to taste
- 2 tbsp oil
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the mixed vegetables. Wash and peel the carrots and potatoes. Cut the carrots into small rounds and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Rinse the peas if using frozen ones. Set all the vegetables aside.
- In a large skillet or kadhai, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds until they become aromatic.
- Add the chopped onion to the skillet. Sauté the onion for about 5-7 minutes, or until it becomes translucent and slightly golden brown.
- Stir in the chopped green chilies and cook for another minute to release their flavor.
- Add the chopped tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften and blend into the mixture.
- Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder and salt to taste. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
- Now, add the prepared mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, and potatoes) to the skillet. Stir well to coat the vegetables with the spice mixture.
- Pour in a little water (about 1/4 cup) to help the vegetables cook evenly. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
- Once the vegetables are cooked, remove the lid and check for seasoning. Adjust salt if necessary and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes uncovered to allow any excess moisture to evaporate.
- Turn off the heat and let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the Jaipuri Mixed Vegetables hot with roti, paratha, or rice. Enjoy your delicious, healthy meal!
Tips
- Choose Fresh Vegetables: For the best flavor, use fresh, seasonal vegetables. Carrots, peas, and potatoes work beautifully together, but feel free to mix in your favorites!
- Customize Spice Levels: Adjust the number of green chilies according to your heat preference. If you like it spicy, add an extra chili or two!
- Sauté for Flavor: Don’t rush the sautéing process. Allow the onions to turn golden brown for a richer flavor base.
- Add a Pinch of Sugar: If your tomatoes are too acidic, a pinch of sugar can balance the flavors perfectly.
- Rest Before Serving: Let the dish sit for a few minutes after cooking. This resting time allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
- Perfect Pairings: Serve your Jaipuri Sabji with warm roti, paratha, or a bowl of fragrant rice to soak up all the delicious spices.
