Sabz - E - Bahaar

The other day I decided to make chapathis for dinner and I wanted to try something new for side dish. My refrigerator was stocked with vegetables and I was all the more eager to use most of them. I have a recipe book with me and thought of finding a new recipe from that. Sabz - E - Bahaar caught my attention. The name was fabulous. I realized that I had all the needed ingredients for this recipe and started out immediately. The side dish was awesome. Its too good an accompaniment for chapathis.





Ingredients:

Method:

  • Chop all the vegetables into equal sized cubes.

  • Add the ginger/garlic paste and fry until the raw smell goes off.
  • Now add the chopped vegetables, carrots, potatoes, cauliflower, beans, capsicum, tomatoes. Add salt. Pour 1/2 glass of water. Cover and cook until the vegetables are almost cooked. This took about 7-8 minutes.
