Vegetable Makhanwala

This is a near pefect party dish. Not too spicy, not too bland. Perfect with rotis or pulao. And since it is made with mixed vegetables, there’s something in it for everyone. I even add pieces of paneer if I’m serving this at a party. (Yes, there are people who count paneer as a “vegetable”!) This way, I don't have to bother about catering to different people's likes and dislikes.

Ingredients:
1 tbsp Oil (Or ½ tbsp butter and ½ tbsp Oil)
1 Onion, ground to a fine paste
1 cup Mixed Vegetables, cooked
¼ cup Tomato Puree
¾ cup Slim Milk
½ tsp Turmeric Powder
1 tsp Chilli Powder
1 tsp Kasuri Methi
1 tsp Sugar

Salt to taste Heat the oil. Add the onion paste and fry for a few minutes. Add the turmeric and chilli powder and fry for another minute. Add the mixed vegetables and fry for 4-5 minutes. Add the tomato puree and salt. Mix well and cook until the mixture bubbles. Add the milk and bring to a boil while stirring. Add the kasuri methi and sugar. Cook for 5 minutes. Garnish this with coriander leaves if you wish and enjoy with rotis or rice.

This is my favourite way to serve and eat mixed vegetables. I also find this dish to be one of the best ways to clean up the fridge. You can put just about anything you find (except brinjals and lady's finger) and the dish would still taste like a million dollars.
