Vegetable bake, microwave, oven with mint chutney

Ingredients for vegetables

Onion 1 big finely sliced        1 green capsicum finely chopped        1 big carrot cut fine

2 tomatoes finely cut          3-4 green chilies or to taste        fresh coriander leaves 2-3 tbsp

Garlic 4-5 finely chopped    oil 1 tbsp

Ingredients for baking

All purpose flr  1 cup        barley & black gram flr 1 cup ( incase you don’t have it, just use all purpose flr or wheat flr., as that is more healthy than using only all purpose flr.)

Baking pdr 1 tsp             butter 2 tbsp              buttermilk 1 ½ cups            eggs 2 ( those who don’t eat eggs may use another ½ tsp of baking pdr & ½ cup of warm milk & reduce slightly buttermilk quantity)   salt to taste

Method

Heat oil in a pan, add onion, garlic, chilies, once they’re slightly fried, add tomatoes, fry along with ½ tsp salt, as this helps tomatoes to get cooked well, then add carrots & capsicum, fry for 2 minutes, add coriander leaves, mix & keep aside.

For the base, in a bowl, beat eggs well along with butter, then add the flours with baking pdr, beat well, you can use a hand beater/egg beater, or even a wooden spoon to do it, then add buttermilk or those who are using milk & buttermilk & salt to taste. Mix well, and then add the prepared vegetables. The mixture should be of a pouring consistency. If you feel it is slightly thick, then you may add some water to get the consistency. Pour this into a well greased baking dish. If you’re using microwave, then micro high for 8-10 minutes, to test insert a knife it should come out clean. If you’re baking in an oven, then preheat the oven to 180 deg C, bake till the knife comes out clean, it may take between 20-25 minutes.

For variations, those who like cheese, may sprinkle some grated cheese on top.

This goes well with mint chutney.

Mint chutney

A bunch of mint leaves     2 bunch of fresh coriander leaves      green chilies to taste 2-3

1 small onion          2 tsp lime juice  salt to taste.

Grind all together fine. This goes well with vegetable bake, with bread as a good sandwich spread, or with roti also.
