  • Add 2 medium size finely chopped onions. Saute until they turn soft.
  • Add the chopped veggies and saute for 2-3 minutes over medium flame. Regulate the heat.
  • Add turmeric powder and ginger garlic paste. Saute until the raw smell of ginger garlic goes away.

Notes

Use fresh vegetables.
The cooking time will depend on the cut of the vegetables. I prefer to cut in medium size.
