Stir Fry Pepper Vegetables!


Lately I have been cooking no spice no oil dishes for my hubby..One cannot eat much with a recovering jaundice, so I hope my experiments are useful to other people too..



Initially apprehensive, I did start my 'tough' task to select 'selected' vegetables and somehow make then taste delicious using almost nothing! Phew...

There could be a series of them coming up, so keep an eye...

I had eaten Stir fry vegetables once or twice and secretly admiring the taste (Don't like carrots/beans cooked otherwise!), so the first thing that struck my head was to make it now!

Do try this healthy recipe and share your experience.
This recipe can be served as a side dish or main course

Serves: 4

Ingredients
===========
1 small flower of cauliflower
200 gm beans
200 gm Carrots
1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
1 table spoon olive oil
Salt & pepper to taste

How to go about it!
===================
1) Wash the vegetables thoroughly under running water
2) Peel the carrots and cut the cauliflower in small flowers (not very small)
3) Now cut the carrots into thin 5 cm rectangular slices and beans too of approximate length
4) In a non stick pan add 2 cups of water and put all the sliced vegetables into the same
5) Sprinkle little salt and close the lid
6) Lets the vegetables cook for around 10 min or so until slightly tender, medium flame
7) Drain the water,transfer the vegetables into another pan
8) Wipe the non stick pan dry and put 1 tablespoon oil
9) Add the mustard seeds, close the lid until the seeds have crackled
10) Now add the cooked vegetables and sprinkle salt as per taste
11) Close the lid and toss the plan for the salt to mix
(One can use a wooden stapula for mixing if the veggies are not too soft)
12) Let it cook for another 5-10 min
13) Add pepper when the pan is off the flame and toss
(Optionally add some fresh sprouts)
14) Enjoy!
