Easy and Healthy Mixed Vegetable Snack

Step 1: Prepare Vegetables for Boiling

Wash and cut potatoes, green beans, and carrots into your preferred shapes, such as sticks for carrots and potatoes, and 1-inch pieces for green beans. Place them in a pot with enough water to cover them.

Step 2: Boil Vegetables

Add 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder to the pot with the vegetables. Bring the water to a boil and cook for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are 70-80% cooked. They should be tender but still have a slight bite. Do not overcook them.

Step 3: Strain Boiled Vegetables

Once cooked, strain the vegetables and set them aside, allowing any excess water to drain.

Step 4: Sauté Onions

Heat 3 tablespoons of cooking oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until it becomes translucent and lightly golden.

Step 5: Add Spices

To the sautéed onions, add 1/2 teaspoon of cumin powder, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper powder, 1/2 teaspoon of chaat masala, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Mix well and cook for about 1 minute until the spices are fragrant.

Step 6: Combine Vegetables and Spices

Add the boiled and strained mixed vegetables to the pan with the sautéed onions and spices. Gently toss or sauté the mixture for 2-3 minutes, ensuring all vegetables are evenly coated with the spices. Be careful not to mash the potatoes.

Step 7: Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle fresh chopped coriander over the mixed vegetable snack. Give it a final gentle toss and serve hot. Enjoy your easy, healthy, and delicious snack!
