Veggie Murmure Stirfry

All last week my food mainly consisted of carbs and fats with very less fruits and somedays with no fruits at all. I was badly in need of some nutritious vegetables and I came up with this one. Didn't want to add rice to it but added a cup of murmure (puffed rice) and this was quite crunchy and tasty. And a cup of orange juice with this bowl of vegetables made me full.

You need...

2 cups of frozen mixed vegetables (add as many veggies as you like)
1 cup murmure/puffed rice (put these in the colander, sprinkle some water and remove)
1/2 onion, chopped
1 roma tomato, chopped into big chunks
1 tsp ginger-garlic paste
1 tbsp oil
1/2 tsp sugar (optional)
1 tsp of lemon juice
salt to taste
sev and cilantro for garnishing


  1. Heat oil in a pan. Fry onions for a minute.
  2. Add veggies and stir fry for 3-4 mins.
  3. Add tomato chunks and stiry fry for another minute.
  4. Add tumeric, chilli powder, garam masala and mix.
  5. Add murmure, salt and sugar and cook everything for 2 mins. Add some lemon juice to it and remove.
  6. Sprinkle both sev and cilantro and serve hot.

  9. Hi Lata, love the idea of puffed rice in the veggies! That is an easy fix for carb-a-holics like me -- I will try very soon, thanks :) Cashew-capsicum curry looks awesome too.
