Vegetable Recipes - Balti Mixed Vegetables Recipe

Ingredients

Serve 4

  • 2-3 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 1 small onion, chopped

  • 1 garlic clove, crushed

  • 2.5 cm/1 inch piece of fresh root ginger, grated

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

  • 2 teaspoons ground coriander

  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric

  • 500 g/1 lb diced mixed vegetables (potatoes, carrots, Swede, peas, beans, cauliflower)

  • 2-3 tomatoes, skinned and chopped, or 4 tablespoons lemon juice

  • salt

Method:

  1. Heat the oil in a large wok or heavy-based saucepan, add the onion and fry gently for 5-10 minutes or until lightly browned.

  2. Add the garlic, ginger, chili powder, coriander, turmeric and a pinch of salt, and fry for 2-3 minutes.

  3. Add the diced vegetables and stir-fry for a further 2-3 minutes. Add either the chopped tomatoes or the lemon juice. Stir well and add a little water.

  4. Cover and cook gently for 10-12 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender, adding a little more water, if necessary, to prevent the vegetables sticking to the bottom of the wok. Serve immediately.
