What else kids want, a mild sweet vegetable with creamy texture. My kids simply loved it....I am sure your kids will love it too. Do give it a try. You can even make this during get-together and it works wonder when guests are call upon.
Here I deep fried potato, beans and cauliflower and cooked peas and carrot in pressure cooker for 1 whistle. I don't like to deep fry carrot as it looses it colour and taste. If you wish you can deep fry but it takes little longer time to cook so deep fry it for little longer time.
INGREDIENTS
2 medium sized roughly chopped onion
4 medium sized roughly chopped tomatoes
2-3 bay leaves (tej pata)
3-4 cloves (laung)
5-6 peppercorns (kali mirch) optional
