Tomato puree 3/4 cup

Kasuri methi 1 tbsp

Oil 2 tbsp

PREPARATION

Heat oil in a pan and add the cumin seeds.When it splutters add the whole spices and saute.

Next goes the onion into the pan and saute till it becomes transparent. Time to add the ginger garlic paste for that lovely aroma

Now dunk in the cut vegetables and saute for 2 to 3 minutes.

Add the chilli powder, turmeric and garam masala

Pour in the tomato puree and let it boil for a minute.

Now add the soaked rice , paneer, kasuri methi with the required water
