Roti Subzi with a twist!

I did not have the inclination to post the Friday's recipe so I am going to add it to today's. Friday I had made dum aloo.
Today's recipe was an 'I owe you" from one of the earlier posts. It is a 'recycle recipe' if you will! If you have leftover rotis sitting in your refrigerator this one is a good one to rustle up. It was the brain child of my mom :-)

Recycled rotis - R2

Dum aloo, Jaipuri bhindi and rotis

Recycled Rotis

Rotis - chopped into inch sized squares

A cup of diced vegetables - you can use whatever u have; capsicum, carrots, potatoes, peas etc

2 onions diced

1 tomato diced

1 tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp chilli sauce

1 tsp cumin seeds

1 tbsp maggi sweet and hot sauce

Salt and chilli pd to taste

Heat oil in a pan and add the cumin seeds to splutter. Now add the onions and saute till they are golden brown. Then add the tomatoes and saute them for a minute. Add the vegetables (the ones that take the longest to cook go in first) and keep sauteing them. Add the soy, chilli and the maggi sauces and the sal and chilli pd and add a quarter cup water. Cover and cook till the vegetables are cooked but still crunchy. Then add the chapati pieces and stir until they are well coated. Saute for a minute more. 

Dum Aloo

4 Potatoes peeled and quartered (ideally you should use the baby potatoes about 10 - halve them if they are too big)

2 Onions + 3 tomatoes + 3 cloves of garlic ground to a paste

1 small bowl of curd well beaten

2-3 Cardamom pods

1/2 stick of cinnamon

2-3 cloves

1 tsp cumin seeds

1 tsp coriander pd

1 tsp garam masala pd

1/2 tsp turmeric pd

salt and chilli pd to taste

Fry the potatoes with a little oil till they turn light golden brown. Do this on a slow flame and constantly keep moving the potatoes around (It would be easier to deep fry them like the original recipe calls for but trust me this is far healthier!). Keep them aside.

Heat oil in a pan and add cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom. When you smell the aroma, add the cumin seeds and let them splutter. Now add the ground onion tomato paste and fry till they lose their rawness. Now add the chilli pd, coriander pd, turmeric and salt and cook for a minute more. Remove the pan from the flame and let it cool down a little before adding the curd to it. Mix well and then return the pan to the stove top and cook for another 5 mins. Now add the potatoes and the garam masals pd and cover and cook for a few minutes till the potatoes are soft. Garnish with coriander and serve!
