Sunrise tip: For the crispiest fried veggies, make sure to pat them completely dry with a kitchen towel before frying. Any moisture will make them soggy.

 

Steps

Step 1: Fry the vegetables

Time: 20 minutes

Heat refined oil in a kadai or deep pan. Fry the paneer until golden brown. Keep it aside in a bowl after frying.

In the same oil, add potato, carrot, beans, capsicum and cauliflower. Deep fry them until golden and crisp, but not overcooked.

Drain on a paper towel and set aside in a bowl.

 

Step 2: Make the masala base

Time: 10 minutes

Take another pan/ wok and heat Sunrise Mustard oil.

Add whole cumin, dry red chillies, ginger paste, finely chopped onion, tomato puree, Sunrise Sabji Masala, white paste, and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Add water and cook for 3-5 minutes.

 

Step 3: Mix in fried veggies

Time: 10 minutes

Add the fried vegetables to the masala. Toss and stir well to evenly coat the veggies with the spiced gravy.

Cook for 5 minutes to let the flavours meld.

Sprinkle in corn, peas and fried paneer on top of it.

 

Step 4: Garnish and serve

Time: 2 minutes

Now, sprinkle some salt to taste, pour in some ghee, add Sunrise Shahi Garam Masala and give it a final stir.

Garnish generously with chopped fresh coriander leaves, if needed. Serve piping hot.
