Directions
- In a large pan add 3 tbsp preferred oil and 1 tsp ghee, once it is hot add mustard seeds, cumin seeds and asafoetida.
- Add chopped onions, garlic and ginger and sauté for a couple of minutes.
- Once the onion gets translucent add chopped tomatoes, turmeric and coriander powder with some salt as well.
- Mix all for a minute and add potatoes and cauliflower in the pot with ¼ cup of water.
- Let it cook for 10 to 12 min at least at medium flame.
- Check if it needs more water so it does not get stuck at bottom and add red chilli powder, garam masala and mix again.
- Add frozen peas and keep cooking for about 8 to 10 mins. Check the potatoes afterwards if they are soft.
- Once you think the veggies are soft, add the dry mango powder and taste for salt. Add chopped cilantro and serve hot with Roti/ paratha or rice.
