Sabzi Indian Mixed Vegetables

sabzi-vegetbales

I made a big ol' deep pan of vegetables, didn't really measure actual quantities, and ended up with some carrots from a frozen bag of peas and carrots. I considered separating them but I'd rather poke needles in my eyes so that didn't happen. The flavor of these is mild, yet rich, and quite enjoyable.

I didn't have mustard oil, mustard seed, cumin seed, or fenugreek, so you could almost argue I didn't make this recipe at all. But alas, I did use mustard and cumin powder. So, my claim of making it stands.

Servings: 6-8
Prep Time: 5 m
Cook Time: 20 m

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup mustard oil (canola or vegetable oil)
  • 1 tablespoon mustard seed
  • 1 tablespoon cumin seeds (whole)
  • 1 tablespoon fenugreek (optional - which means good luck finding it)
  • 2 medium onions (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon ginger (fresh, minced)
  • 1 tablespoon jalapeño (fresh, minced)
  • 1 tablespoon turmeric
  • 2 teaspoons coriander powder
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 large cauliflower head (chopped)
  • 1 cup green peas
  • 3 large tomatoes (chopped)
  • 2 bell peppers
  • 1 cup mushrooms (sliced)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • Salt to taste

Directions

  1. Gather the ingredients.
     
  2. Heat the mustard oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the mustard, cumin, and fenugreek seeds, if using, and cook for a few minutes, just until they begin to crackle.
     
  3. Add the onions, ginger, and jalapeño to the skillet, and fry for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, mixing well while they cook.
     
  4. Add the turmeric, coriander, and garam masala and cook for an additional minute while mixing.
     
  5. Add the cauliflower, green peas, tomatoes, mushrooms, and bell peppers into the skillet and continue stirring.
     
  6. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 10 to 12 minutes until the vegetables are cooked but firm.
     
  7. Add spinach and heat just until wilted. Season lightly with salt, to taste.
     
  8. Serve hot and enjoy!
