I like those chinese types of vegetables - the one with a thick corn flour gravy and cauliflower, capsicum and onion in it. But whenever I cook it at home, there is always some kind of harsh smell of capsicum and onion which does not arise from a resturant one made dish. How can I check that? Any idea?
Re: Vegetable mix
fry them lightly before adding them to the rest of the vegetables
Re: Vegetable mix
Thanks for the tip. But frying is a sheer wastage of oil which is becoming quite expensive these days.
Re: Vegetable mix
^ chalo koi nai... lard mein fry kar lo :)
Re: Vegetable mix
At what point do you add the capsicum and onions?
Re: Vegetable mix
Everything altogether. I also tried to blend them - spring onion, ginger, garlic, capciscum, tomatoes etc but still they are harsh in smell.

but u r not fyring in lots of oil... just one tablespoon or so or depends on the quantity of onion and capsicum... khair
Re: Vegetable mix
yeah i think yourfriend means saute them seperately in a teaspoon of oil on high heat and then add them later.
Re: Vegetable mix
I add capsicum towards the end and if I am using white onions then at the same time as capsicum. Then the cornflour sauce after few mins. And turn off the heat and add spring onions.

Re: Vegetable mix
You know I cooked the vegetable soup you told Code-Red. I had same problem with that although it was very tasty. I also put some turnip that made the suop quite red.
Re: Vegetable mix
You can actually do without capsicum in that soup...my daughter dont like capsicum in soup so instead of always picking them out for her, I just make without capsicum. You can use french beans or broccoli or snowpeas for the green effect. Turnips we get are white so not sure how it became red...or perhaps you used beetroot (which are kind of red turnips) Thats really an acquired taste and yeah really red!
Re: Vegetable mix
Somebody's face now as red as beetroot :D
