Tawa vegetables

 

This literally means an array of vegetables cooked on a griddle. While the stuffing is the same for all the cook times vary, hence I cooked each vegetable separately till held done then arranged them all on the griddle or tawa and cooked on a low flame till done!

Veggies to stuff:

 a few fresh okra,

 1 Japanese eggplant, 

2 small potatoes, parboiled  

a few Parval(pointed gourd)

1 tbsp Panch foron( equal portions of cumin seeds, fennel seeds, mustard seeds, Nigella seeds, and fenugreek seeds), lightly roast this and powder it.

1onion

2-3 cloves of garlic

2-3 green chilies 

1 tsp coriander pd 

1 tsp chili pd 

1/2 tsp garam masala pd

Salt

2 tbsp mustard oil

Coarsely grind the onion, garlic and green chilies. Mix into this salt, coriander pd, chili pd, garam masala pd. 

Make a slit in each vegetable and stuff with the paste. 

Heat oil in a non stick or cast iron pan and add the stuffed veggies without crowding. I cooked each of the different vegetables separately, till almost half cooked. Then I placed them all on the tawa or griddle and cooked them on a medium low flame till done.
