When mom is busy, cooking has to be quick n easy! Agree or not? Let me introduce you to a fast recipe that has health as well as taste and can be multi-purpose. It’s my version of North Indian Style Pan Fried Mix Vegetables AKA Tawa Sabji.
Read on.
Preparation Time: 15-20 mins
Cooking Time: 10 mins
Diet: Suitable for vegetarians. Option to make Vegan.
Pre-preparations
- Wash, clean, dry and chop vegetables.
- I used potato, capsicum, carrot, cauliflower and tomatoes. You can add beans, corn as well.
- Keep Paneer AKA Cottage cheese out of the fridge.
- Make ginger-garlic paste and keep ready.
- Keep all the spices handy – coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala, Paneer tikka masala, red Chilli powder, turmeric.
- Marinate all the vegetables in a mix of yoghurt, add salt as per taste and all the spices mentioned above. After marination, you can refrigerate it for 15-20 minutes (optional)
Actual Cooking:
- Add ghee AKA clarified butter to the pan. You can use oil too but I preferred Ghee because it will add a very nice aroma to the veggie.
- Add cumin seeds, asafoetida.
- After cumin seeds flutter, add a dash of turmeric, coriander powder, cumin seeds powder and ginger-garlic paste.
- Fry for a while and when you smell the aroma, add marinated vegetables.
- Stir fry for 2-3 minutes.
- Cover the pan with the lid. After 5-7 minutes, check and mix the vegetables well.
- After some minutes, check again and it should be done. I keep it a bit crunchy and don’t let it become too soft.
- Serve with hot Chapati, Prata (paratha) or Rice or Pilaf (pulao)
**** All the ingredients are easily available at any of the Indian stores around your residence.
Nutritional Values: Vegetables provide all the necessary nutrients like Vitamin A, B, K, Potassium, Iron. Paneer AKA Cottage Cheese is a great source of protein and spices have their own benefits like anti-inflammatory, help in digestion and so on. If you want to make a vegan variant of the same dish, use alternatives of ghee and paneer.

The food looks so yummy and healthy at the same time.
Thanks for sharing this simple and easy-to-prepare recipe. We are enjoying a long weekend in Malaysia. Time to get into the kitchen!
Wow.. Please share more recipes! I love indian’s way of cooking food sometimes (hope it’s not offensive). =)
The Color of the vegetable is nice. Yum.. Yum.. Thanks for sharing.
I’m normally not a “vege-lover” but your dish looks great! You must be an awesome cook ?❤
Simply perfect for a lunch with family, especially during rainy day. HeHE
That looks delicious Shubhada. We really struggle to find ghee here in South Africa. There are only a few shops in certain areas that sell it and I do so love the flavor that it adds to a dish. It’s so much richer, if that’s the right word
This looks so appetizing and healthy. I need to eat more veggies so this would be the perfect way to start!
The final product look so yummy and i love that its both yummy and healthy at the same time. I have to try this.
I do a lot of meal prep when the children’s sports start up. Freezer meals have become a lifesaver for me, so that the kids are still getting a nice balanced meal.
This is my favorite way to eat vegetables. I definitely can’y do steamed veggies 😀

Totally agree that homemade food is the best. I don’t think I’ve ever cook with ghee before but I’m curious to give it a try. I love indian food and this looks yummy!
This looks so delicious and yes healthy. I do make the mix vegetables the other way without marinating, it does take me more time to cook. I will have to try your recipe.
Oh wow these all look delicious, I always like seeing vibrant healthy colours in meals. These would be great for me to try during the colder months!
I’ve never tried this kind of stir fry before! I love learning new recipes especially the ones that are packed with flavor and easy to make! Thanks for this one.
This looks like something my family would love & I love how easy and healthy it is to make
This looks pretty tasty. I’ve never heard of Ghee though, is it much different than butter?
This looks delicious! I love veggies! I would probably make this during a cold evening and read a good book while eating.
Wow, these look amazing, and fairly simple as well. I am always looking for new ways to cook up some veggies!
This easy and quick recipe looks so delightful and tasty. I will definitely try to make this on weekend. I really love to try new recipes for my family.
I love the Indian food. there is a diffrent between the north indian and the south Indian one, but I have noticed that the north Indian is less spicy!
This looks very delicious! It would be a great dish to prepare with my friends!
The recipe looks fab! It’s easy to make and looks delicious! I absolutely cook it as close as I can to your recipe.
I do a lot of meal prep when the children’s sports start up. Freezer meals have become a lifesaver for me, so that the kids are still getting a nice balanced meal.
This looks so fresh and yummy. You are making me hungry just reading this. I love cooking, so may give this a try 🙂 x
Wow I was just thinking about how I need to get out of my cooking rut today. The only issue is I live in Spain and don’t think we have an Indian grocery store. There are only two Indian restaurants in the city I live in and in general not a large Indian population.
I bet this is so yummy and smells amazing! I love simple and easy recipes that are also nutritious!
I love Indian food, even veggie. Its delicious and healthy and flavorful.
The recipe sounds delicious! I love trying to cook Indian food and while I do make quite a lot of curries, I didn’t try yet to make dry recipes, that don’t have sauce. I might try this one soon.
Yummy, Yummy! I can not wait to try this one night. Thank you for the share, my family will be so happy we are trying out something new.
you are making me so hungry! I love that it’s healthy too!
This looks delicious, I cannot wait to try it. I love reading your recipes, they always look so tasty.
The preparation looks easy and palatable at the same time. One great healthy option.
That looks so good and definitely like something I can make fast and easily. My biggest time drain is always the food prep, I hate doing it and I feel like it double my time in the kitchen when I just want to have dinner and get back to my super busy schedule. Love the low level of food prep here, but still super healthy result. Thanks for sharing!
I love a good vegetable stir fry when i am tired and just want to cook something healthy and delicious! I also use some ghee for the aroma…
Looks really good and sounds so easy to make! I love all the spices you used.
