Yummy Mixed Veggies!!

This is one of my easiest !
I have been making this mixed vegetable for a while now.. the reason why it came into existence is because my friends sometimes just like to drop in unannounced and of course we chat and then its almost dinner time! So here is something that has a lot of veggies, is good for health and the taste buds love it! and yes! its super quick!!

I must thank all my friends who have appreciated this recipe over time and have asked me for the recipe about a million times.. it is your persuasion that has helped me put this up on the blog. Enjoy!
PS - this is also going to be part of my "ONE-PAN" Recipe series.

INGREDIENTS:

Onion - 1 medium, fine chopped (Opional)
Tomato - 1 medium, fine chopped (Optional)
Green Chilli - 1 small,chopped
Milk/ Creme- 1-2 cup, depending on how thick you want the gravy.
Bag of Mixed Veggies
Fresh Coriander - small bunch, chopped
Cumin Seeds (Jeera) - 1 tsp 
Asafoetida (Hing) - a pinch
Turmeric (Haldi)- 1 tsp
Kitchen King Masala - 1.5 tsp (I use MDH brand)
Shah Jeera (Caraway Seeds) - 1 tsp (optional)
Ghee - 1 tsp (optional)
Oil - 2 tbsp
Salt to taste

OPTIONAL: Before you serve, add tadka with ghee and shah jeera

COOKING TIME: 20 mins

SERVING: Serves 4.

METHOD:

1. Pour oil in a pan, heat it. 
2. Add Cumin seeds, let them splutter.
3. Add Asafoetida and Turmeric powder, move the oil mix. 
4. Add Onion and fry till golden. Add tomatoes and cook till oil separates. (If you are in a real hurry, you can omit the onion and tomatoes and it will still taste great!)
5. Add the bag of veggies and cook covered till done. Make sure the heat is low to medium.
6. Add Kitchen King Masala. Mix in, cook for 3-4 mins. Add Green Chillis.
7. Add milk or if you want it thicker and richer, add creme. Mix well. Remove from fire. (You can add as much milk/creme as you want, to make gravy. I add just enough to move the masala, so mine is like a dry preparation.)
8. Add Salt to taste. Garnish with fresh coriander.
9. To Serve: Add tadka with Shah Jeera spluttered in hot Ghee.

Let me know what you think !!!
