- Vegetable gravy will be more colourful, as we add beetroot to it.
- You can very well add the cooked green peas, at once you add the cooked vegetables.
- Instead of grinding the onion, ginger and garlic, you can just saute it and then add the vegetables.
- If you don’t want the masala taste, you can avoid adding fennel seeds, ginger and garlic. The main purpose of adding fennel seeds and ginger is because these are good for digestion.
- While trying this dish, you can add different vegetable at various times, as it will be more colourful and d should not be more boring to our family members.
- Don’t waste the Cooked vegetable water, pour it into gravy along with smashed vegetables.
- It is good to store the fried gram powder in air tight box. Just add half a spoon of this powder to any kind of gravy before switching off the flame. This makes the dish tastier and gives a thicker consistency.
