Gajar Aur Shimla ki Bhaaji

🇮🇳 Indian

Carrots and capsicum tossed together, the retro dhaba side that pairs with anything. A one-pan weeknight sabzi that asks for little and gives a lot. Best mopped up with hot chapatis straight off the flame.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Wash and cut the carrot into even, bite-size pieces so everything cooks at the same pace.

  2. 2

    Soften the onions in oil over a medium flame with a little salt until translucent and sweet.

  3. 3

    Stir in ginger garlic paste and green chili; after a minute add the ground spices with a splash of water so they don't scorch.

  4. 4

    Add the carrot and the bell pepper, toss to coat in the masala, cover and cook on low, stirring twice, until tender.

  5. 5

    Finish with garam masala, cilantro and a knob of butter for gloss.

Chef's tip

Taste as you go — chili heat, salt and sourness should all lift each other, not fight.
