Hyderabadi Nizami Handi

Veg Hyderabadi Nizami Handi

Ingredients:

For Quick Makhani Gravy:
3-4 medium sized tomatoes
2 Nos. Green chillies
1 inch Ginger
4-5 cloves of garlic
8-10 cashew nuts
1-2 Bay leaves
A pinch of salt
500 ml water

Method:

• Set a pan & add all the ingredients into it. Stir well & cover & cook for 10-15 minutes on high flame. We are prepping a quick makhana sauce to be added later on in the preparation. Restaurants have this ready in their kitchens.

• If the makhana gravy would have been for a butter chicken kind of preparation, some more ingredients would have gone into it.

• Once done, cool down & grind into a smooth paste.

For the boiled veggies:

Boiling water
A pinch of salt
½ tsp turmeric
250 grams Cauliflower
100 grams French beans
100 grams Carrots
100 grams Green peas
You can add any veggies as you like!

Method:

• Set water to boil & add some salt & turmeric.

• Boil the cauliflower in the boiling water on high flame for 5 minutes.

• Now add the other veggies & cook for another 3-4 minutes. The veggies should be cooked only until 80-85% done.

• Strain & set aside until added into the gravy. You can replenish the veggies with cold water to stop the cooking process.

• Tip: You can blanch the spinach in the same water which is to be used in the recipe later on.

• Now add the turmeric powder & cook for a couple of minutes.

• Now add the chopped tomatoes, salt to taste & cook until the tomatoes are mushy.

• Now add in the powdered spices & cook well. Keep the flame low at frist so that the spices do not burn, you can also add some hot water to cook the spices easily.

• Cook well until ghee is released.

• Now add the cashew paste & cook well for 4-5 minutes. Remember to stir continuously otherwise the cashew paste tends to stick to the bottom.

• Now add in the makhana gravy & cook again for 4-5 minutes on high flame.

• Now add the boiled veggies, blanched spinach, we had cooked the veggies until 80% done. So now just cook them for 4-5 minutes. Or until the veggies are done.

• Lower the flame & add the cream, toasted kasuri methi & mix well. Do not overcook or else the cream, will release its fat.

• Finish with fresh coriander & serve hot.

• I paired it with some roomali roti which goes really well. Cheers!
