Being a fan of restaurant style gravies/ sides….I am often looking forward to make them at home too! Veg Chilli Milli is one such side which tastes excellent and has many veggies which makes it healthy 🤓 

And it also goes very well with some Wholewheat Tawa Naan or Methi Makka Roti👌🏼🤗..however is served with some plain Parathas this time around as my hubby wanted to have them.

Method:

Make a smooth purée of the tomatoes & soaked cashews without adding any water. Set it aside.

Heat oil in the pan, add all the whole spices, jeera & hing. Let them splatter for a min. Then add the chopped onions & chillies. Cook until they onions turn golden. Then add the purée, turmeric, degi mirch, coriander pwd & ginger-garlic paste, stir well and cook until the raw smell goes away. The paste will start leaving the oil around the edges once it’s cooked.

Next, add the cabbage, capsicum, carrot & peas. Season with salt and mix well. Cover & cook until the veggies are soft. That takes about 7-10 mins on medium flame. Then add the cream and garam masala. Mix well. If needed, you can add some water to correct the consistency.
