Instructions
 

Pre-Cooking Preparation Steps and Time

  • Chop the onion, bell pepper, carrot, and zucchini.
  • Cut the green beans and separate the cauliflower into small florets.
  • Mince the garlic cloves and ginger.
  • Chop the green chilies.
  • Measure out and prepare the ingredients for the hot garlic sauce.

Cooking Steps

    Step 1: Sauté the Vegetables

    • In a large frying pan or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat.
    • Add the onions, bell pepper, carrot, zucchini, green beans, cauliflower, and peas to the pan.
    • Sauté the vegetables for 7-8 minutes, or until they are cooked but still have a slight crunch. Remove the vegetables from the pan and set aside.

    Step 2: Prepare the Hot Garlic Sauce

    • In the same pan, heat another tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat.
    • Add the minced garlic, green chilies, and ginger to the pan, and sauté for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.
    • Add the tomato puree, soy sauce, red chili sauce, white vinegar, sugar, black pepper, and salt to the pan. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
    • Pour in the 1/4 cup of water and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

    Step 3: Thicken the Sauce

    • Add the cornstarch slurry (cornstarch dissolved in water) to the sauce, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
    • Cook for another 2-3 minutes or until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

    Step 4: Combine the Vegetables and Sauce

    • Add the cooked vegetables to the hot garlic sauce, stirring gently to coat the vegetables evenly with the sauce.
    • Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the vegetables to absorb the flavors of the sauce.

    Step 5: Garnish and Serve

    • Transfer the Indian Vegetables Hot Garlic Sauce to a serving dish.
    • Garnish with chopped fresh coriander before serving.
