how to make vegetable kadai
  1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a broad non-stick pan.
  2. Add 1 cup paneer (cottage cheese) cubes.
  3. Sauté for 2 minutes until light golden brown.
  4. Add 1 cup small cauliflower florets. Cauliflower florets provide a delightful textural contrast to other vegetables.
  5. Add ½ cup carrot, diagonally cut. Carrots offer a natural sweetness that helps to balance the tanginess of tomatoes and the spiciness of the chilies often used in vegetable kadai. This creates a more harmonious and well-rounded flavor profile.
  6. Add ¾ cup french beans, diagonally cut. French beans add a satisfying snap and bite to the dish. Their slightly firm texture contrasts nicely with softer vegetables like tomatoes or bell peppers, creating a delightful textural experience in every mouthful.
  7. Sauté on a medium flame for 2 to 3 minutes.
  8. Add ½ cup green peas. The vibrant green color of peas adds a cheerful pop to the overall visual appeal of the dish. Their small, round shape provides a delightful textural contrast to the other vegetables, offering a soft, bursting-in-your-mouth experience.
  9. Add ¾ cup capsicum cubes. Capsicum has a unique crisp-tender texture that provides a delightful contrast to the softer vegetables in the kadai. This adds a pleasant bite to every mouthful.

  12. Heat the remaining 2 tbsp oil in a deep pan.
