- In a pan add oil and add the ginger garlic paste.Slice the onions into long.
- Add the onions to this and saute well.
- Add the finely chopped tomato and saute well. When the tomatoes are mushy add the mixed veggies to this.
- You can parboil the veggies in microwave too.
- Add salt, turmeric powder, pav bhaji masala,and red chilly powder and cumin powder.
- Mix well and cook in a low flame till the veggies gets cooked.
- Add the cooked rice once the veggies are cooked.
- Mix gently and cook for 2 -3 minutes in a low flame.
- Garnish with coriander leaves.
- Serve hot with raita.
Note:
- Do not cook the rice mushy.It should be separate long grains.
