I got this recipe at Jaishree's blog, as usual I managed to bungle on the steps but the outcome was not too bad :)...very edible!!!...incase you want the correct recipe click here. My camera needs to be replaced, the dish actually looks better in real life :p
I have listed below the recipe with steps as I made it :)
Ingredients
15-20 French beans
1 medium sized carrots
2 medium sized capsicums
1/4 medium sized cauliflower
2 large sized tomatoes
1 medium sized onions
10-12 bite size cubes of paneer
1/4 cup shelled green peas
3 red chillies (whole)
1 tbsp coriander seeds
1 tsp cumin seeds
12-15 cloves garlic
2 one inch pieces of ginger
3-4 green chillies
A few sprigs of fresh coriander leaves
4 tbsps oil
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1 tbsp coriander powder
1 tsp red chilli powder
Salt to taste
1 tsp garam masala powder
Method:
1.String and wash French beans. Peel and wash carrots. Wash, halve, and deseed capsicums. Cut all the vegetables into ¼ th inch cubes. Separate cauliflower into small florets and wash. Wash tomatoes and chop roughly. Peel, wash, and slice onion. Wash and drain green peas. Remove stems and break red chillies into two.
2.Grind coarsely three of the red chillies with coriander and cumin seeds. Peel and wash ginger and garlic. Remove stems and wash green chillies. Clean, wash, and chop coriander leaves.
3.Grind half of the ginger with garlic and green chillies. Make julienne of the rest of the ginger.
4.Heat oil in a pan. Add the coarsely ground masala (coriander seeds, cumin seeds, and red chillies). Add ginger-garlic-green chilli paste and sauté till the water evaporates.
5.In a seperate pan fry the sliced onions till golden brown. Once brown add this to the paste (Per the original recipe we were to put in the onions once the ground masala was nice and brown, followed by the ginger-garlic-green chilli paste, I forgot and put the ginger-garlic-green chilli paste, so this extra step).
6.Add the vegetables except capsicums and tomatoes and stir. Cook covered on low heat till carrots are almost done. Sprinkle a little water if necessary.
7.Add turmeric powder, coriander powder, and red chilli powder. Stir continuously. Add tomatoes, paneer cubes, salt, and half cup of water. Cook till the vegetables are cooked and water dries up.
8.Add capsicums and cook for 4-5 minutes on low heat. Sprinkle garam masala powder.
8.Serve hot garnished with ginger julienne and coriander leaves.
