Mixed Indian vegetarian vegetable dish, called subji or sabzi. This subji is made with green peas, cauliflower and tomatoes along with plenty of Indian spices.
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup mustard oil (canola or vegetable oil may be substituted for a less authentic flavor)
- 1 Tbsp mustard seed
- 1 Tbsp whole cumin seeds
- 2 onions, chopped
- 1 Tbsp fresh ginger, minced
- 1 Tbsp fresh jalapeno, minced
- 1 Tbsp turmeric
- 2 tsp coriander
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1 Tbsp fenugreek (optional)
- 1 large cauliflower, chopped
- 1 cup green peas
- 3 large tomatoes, chopped
- 2 bell peppers, chopped
- 2 cups spinach
- dash salt, to taste
Preparation:
Heat the canola or mustard oil in a large skillet, and fry mustard and cumin seeds for a few minutes, just until they begin to crackle.
Add onions, ginger, and jalapeno pepper, and fry for another 3-4 minutes. Add turmeric, coriander, garam masala and heat for another minute, then add cauliflower, green peas, peppers, mushrooms and bell peppers.
Reduce heat to medium-low and heat for 10-12 minutes, until vegetables are cooked. Add spinach and heat just until wilted. Season lightly with salt, to taste.
Pair your subji with an Indian inspired rice dish such as this Indian lemon rice.
Makes 6-8 servings of subji.
