Carrot & Peas medley

Carrot & Peas medley

First thing first, this recipe comes from the wifey - rest assured it won't be the last one and pretty soon she will take this over. A nice entree that's not too heavy or spicy, this is best enjoyed on those days when you just want a light meal without much ado.

Ingredients:

• 3 medium carrots peeled and diced
• 1.5 Cups frozen peas
• 1 Tsp salt
• 1/2 Tsp Turmeric powder
• 1 Tsp cumin seeds
• 1 Tsp garam masala
• 1/2 Tsp dried mango powder (Aamchoor powder)
• 1/2 Cup water
• 2 Tblsp Oil

This is fairly simple - start with heating the oil in a plan and add the cumin seeds to it. Once the seeds begin to crackle, add the turmeric and stir the mix. Now add the veggies, add salt and mix well. You don't need to fry this mixture a whole lot. Just add the water, cover the pan and cook on medium heat for 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. You know the medley is well cooked when the carrot is tender to bite.

Once done, add the garam masala and the dried mango powder and mix the spices in well. Cook for a couple more minutes and turn the heat off. Done - you're all set. Serve with chapatis and curd.
