Mixed Sabzi (Vegetables)
Recipe
Intro
Isn’t it amazing how simple vegetables can make such a tasty dish?! Mixed sabzi is a popular Pakistani dish. It’s full of flavour and the best thing about it is you can use up the leftover vegetables from your fridge.
I have used the vegetables that we as a family like in our mixed sabzi but you can use other vegetables too. There are many different variations of mixed sabzi and the one I cook and am sharing with you is a Dhaba style from the Punjab region of Pakistan. It’s tangy, spicy and most importantly very tasty.

Step-8

Add the dried fenugreek leaves. Mix and continue cooking on a medium to high flame for another 10 -15 mins. Keep stirring to stop it from sticking every few mins.
-
Step-10
Once the vegetables start to soften, cover and cook on a low heat for 10 mins.

Step-11
Remove the lid. Gently mix and check if the vegetables are cooked. If they aren’t cover and cook until all the vegetables are softened.
Tips
- You can use frozen vegetables if you don’t have any fresh vegetables available.
- When covering and cooking ensure you have an airtight lid to avoid any steam from escaping. It is the steam that helps cook the vegetables
- Don’t be tempted to add water. As long as you stir and use a good non stick pan you won’t need to add water. by adding water it changes the texture and flavour of the curry.
- Chaat masala is a unique mix of spices used as a seasoning. It gives dishes a zingy, tangy and spicy flavour. Chaat masala is primarily used in South Asian cooking and widely available from asian grocery stores and some supermarkets now also.
- Once cooked serve straightaway with chapatis, salad and coriander chutney.

Meal prep DOES NOT have to be boring! #food #shorts #mealprep

Prepping your meals in advance doesn’t mean you have to eat the same boring meals everyday.
I plan what I’m cooking for the following week on a Friday and I’ll do the food shop on the Friday or Saturday. Then I’ll cook all the food for the week ahead on the Sunday. Things like salad, boiling rice I’ll do fresh before eating but most of the meals are ready.
Meals I’ve cooked for meal prepping in the photos are:
1. Chicken katsu curry with udon noodles & a pickled salad
2. Moroccan lamb stew with lemon Cous Cous and a side salad
3. Leftover mince & black eyed bean curry with cheese in a panini toasted for lunch
4. Mince & black eyed bean curry with roti & salad
5. Pakora wrap with imli chutney, chilli sauce & salad
6. Chicken & veg pasta
7. Mackerel Cous Cous salad
