Method

1. Mix the garlic, coriander and the chili powder along with salt and place

it aside.

the oil may spill. Be careful when you are doing this. Wait until the

mustard seeds stop making any noise.

4. Add onions and fry until the onions turn brown.

5. Add the vegetables, the mixture of step 1 and the crushed tomatoes.

6. Fry for about 5 minutes, if you are using canned vegetables. Otherwise

cover the pan and let the vegetables cook. (This might take about 1015 min.)
