Instructions
- Prepare the vegetables first by cleaning the Karela or bitter gourds. Slit it lengthwise then toss it in curd and salt mixture before refrigerating it for 30 minutes. Clean, wash and cut the okra lengthwise in half then bake it in an oven heated at 400 degrees Fahrenheit until it becomes crispy. Also clean, wash and cut the rest of the vegetables and slice the paneer.
- Grease and heat the kadai then fry the vegetables one by one starting with paneer, and then the onions, potato, baigan then the marinated okra until all are cooked before setting it aside.
- Prepare the dry spices by combining all of the ingredients in a bowl, mixing it well before setting it aside.
