Vegetables in Milk Gravy

I am little bored with preparing Tomato or Onion based gravies to serve with Chapati. Some time back, I tried vegetables with Masala and milk alone. I didn’t like its taste much and so didn’t prepare it again.

When I came across Green Peas in Milk gravy in Tarla Dalal’s website, got very excited and prepared immediately with mixed vegetables and adjusting to my taste. Though this is a milk based gravy, Tomatoes and Onions are used but in small quantities. We liked its taste and decided to prepare this often.

Ingredients:

• Mixed Vegetables 1 cup (Peas, Carrot and Beans)
• Onion (small) 1
• Ginger-Garlic Paste 1 tsp
• Chilli Powder ½ tsp

• Kasoori Methi ¼ cup
• Milk 1 ¼ cups
• Maida ½ tsp
• Cream 1 tsp
• Cloves 2
• Cumin and Aniseeds 1/8 tsp each
• Butter and Oil

To grind:

• Tomato (medium) 1
• Onion (small) 1

Preparation:

Cut Tomatoes into four halves. Chop Onion into pieces. Chop Vegetables into medium pieces lengthwise.

Method:

• Heat little in a Pan. Add chopped Onions and fry till translucent. Now add chopped Tomatoes and fry till its skin separates. Keep it aside to cool and then grind.
• Pressure cook the Vegetables for one whistle.
• Heat Butter and Oil in a Pan. When hot, add Cloves, Cumin and Aniseeds. When the seeds crackle, add the Ginger-Garlic Paste and chopped Onions.
• When Onions turn slightly brown, add Tomato-Onion Paste. Fry till the Oil separates. Now add the cooked Vegetables, Kasoori Methi and all the Powders.
