Method
- Heat a pressure cooker with oil. Add bay leaves & cumin seeds. Fry for a minute and then add onions. Saute them nicely until golden brown.
- Once onions become transparent, add tomatoes along with turmeric powder, red chilli powder and garam masala. Fry tomatoes until the raw smell of tomatoes & spice powders leaves and tomatoes become mushy. Now add the chopped vegetables along with kasoori methi, mint & coriander leaves. Saute them nicely until the masalas are coated well with veggies.
- Now add curd and mix well. Then add ground masala paste and required salt. Give a quick stir.
