Spiced Vegetable Bhaji
Ingredients
  • 4 large potatoes, finely chopped
  • 1 cup cauliflower florets
  • 1 carrot, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh green peas
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seed
  • 1 teaspoon black mustard seed
  • 2 whole bay leaves
  • 4 green chile peppers, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 sprig cilantro leaves for garnish
Instructions
1
Combine the potatoes, cauliflower florets, carrot, and peas in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover it with plastic wrap and heat on high for 2 minutes, or until the vegetables are very hot and starting to soften. Carefully remove the plastic wrap and transfer the vegetables to a colander to drain excess moisture.
2
In a large skillet, heat a moderate amount of vegetable oil over medium heat. Cook the onion until it turns golden brown, approximately 10 minutes, and then add cumin seeds, black mustard seeds, and bay leaves. Continue to cook and stir until the seeds start to sizzle, about 30 seconds, followed by the addition of green chiles, garlic, and ginger. Cook and stir until the garlic begins to turn a golden brown color, roughly 1 minute.
3
Add ground cumin, curry powder, and chili powder to the skillet and stir well. Then, incorporate the partially cooked potatoes, cauliflower, carrot, and peas into the mixture. Cook and stir until the vegetables are tender and evenly coated with spices, approximately 30 minutes. Finish by sprinkling chopped cilantro leaves on top.
