- Re:- the recent request for Indian Veg dishes :-
- One of my favourites. This is off the top of my head so I hope I've
- remebered everything.
- I like this with naan or other indian bread.

- Sabzi (mixed vegetable) Bhaji
-
- 2 Potoaoes cut into julienne (sp?) strips (I cut them on the thick side)
- 2 Carrots -----------"-----------
- 2 Onions finely chopped
- Green chillies chopped (I use a couple of large mild and 1 or 2 hot)
- 1 tablespoon freshly ground corriander seed
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- salt to taste
-
-
- Garlic -- optional
- 1inch cube fresh ginger, grated
- Tomatoes peeled and chopped or tinned
- 1 cup or so green veg - peas, beans etc.
- 1 large bunch corriander (cillantro) chopped
- approx. 8 tablespoons of yoghurt
- Juice of 1 lemon
- water
- small quantity of oil
-
-
- Mix the potatoes,carrots, onion, chillies, ground corriander,turmeric and
- salt in a bowl. Stand covered for 1 hour or so.
-
- Heat the oil in a large pan and fry the ginger (and garlic if used) until
- golden Add mixed potatoes/carrots etc. and fry for a few minutes.
- Depending upon the green veg used either add them now or hold back 'til
- later, i.e. if peas then add in the last 5/10 minutes of cooking.
-
- Add tomatoes, lemon juice and half of the fresh corriander, fry for a few
- minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and add yoghurt one tablespoon at a time, incorporating
- each addition into mixture prior to adding the next (this helps to avoid
- curdling).
-
- Add approx 1/2 to 1 cup of water, cover and cook for 30-45 minutes until
- veg are tender.
- If excess water then reduce for a few minutes.
- Add remaining corriander.
