- Heat oil, add the onions and stir fry until they are soft and slightly golden. Next add the ginger and garlic pastes, followed by the tomatoes and puree. Sprinkle the cumin powder, chilli powder and turmeric. Cook until the tomatoes are thickened and oil begins to separate from them.

Adjust salt/spice to your taste.Garnish with freshly chopped coriander and serve!Enjoy! 🙂
Salam.God bless you for
Salam.God bless you for creating this site, it is so helpful! I have a lot of family visiting and I plan on cooking a lot of these dishes inshallah. TWO Questions for you: 1) How many days do you think these veggie dishes can stay good in the fridge after cooking? 2) About how many servings do you think most of these recipes make? Jazakallah khair
W/Salaam, thanks dear.
W/Salaam, thanks dear. Normally veggie dishes can easily last up to 3-4 days or even more if stored in an airtight container. But they are at their healthiest when freshly made. Most of the recipes serve 3-5 people. 🙂
Salam. All your recipes turn
Salam. All your recipes turn out so good Mashaallah. All your flavors are so good… my mother is your fan through my cooking. hehe… so now she doesn’t feel like cooking herself… asks me to cook everything.. 🙂
