Sharing this simple lunch pic ..I wanted to make a quick gravy dish with onions and tomatoes, as those were the only veggies available, desperate measures.....and a rescue.I ended up with a yummy side dish which no one could suspect the secret ingredients. What I did ... chopped some tomatoes, onions finely 3 red chillies choppde finely/ green will also do 2 tsp coriander powder 1 tsp cumin powder 1 tsp chili powder A pinch of turmeric powder. Salt to taste ( a small pinch while cooking, make adjustments later) 1 tbbsp oil My secret ingredient....1/2 a pack of Mixed veg soup from Instant soup ( any brand ) left unused. It had the mixed veg granules which I thought would add some taste to the otherwise simple curry....and it did! For tempering 1/2 tsp mustard seeds 1 tsp cumin seeds Method Heat oil in a kadai, crackle mustard seeds, add cumin seeds, add chopped chillies, add chopped onions, when they are lightly burnt, add tomatoes, and the turmeric powder, salt, cumin powder, coriander powder, chili powder. Sprinkle little water, let the onions and tomatoes cook till almost mushy, then add the pack of instant mixed veg soup . It will thicken , so add some water at this point, no need to keep for long after adding this. Remove and garnish. Note...as the instant soup pack contains added salt. reduce salt added in the beginning. Nothing great I think but I thought this might help some housewives like me!
