Sabzi Raita (Yogurt with Veggies)
Jalapeños are the most popular chile peppers in the US. This is probably due to the availability and versatility of the chile. Jalapeños have a balanced combination of flavor and heat. The demand for these have caused breeders to develop a broad range of varieties.
Ingredients:
2 green peppers (or 1 red and 1 green)
2 tomatoes
1 large onion
4-5 green chiles slit in half
1 750g/26 oz container yogurt
1/2 tsp garlic paste (a little more if you will serve it soon after making it)
salt
1/2 tsp red chilli powder
Instructions:
Slice all the veggies into similar sized strips. Scoop out the flesh of the tomato before slicing it into strips.
Heat oil in a wok or large saucepan/frying pan on high heat
Stir fry the veggies on high heat one by one until they are partially cooked and have charred edges. The best order is: onions, peppers, chiles, tomatoes. Take care with the green chillies, they only need 30 seconds.
As the veggies get done, keep adding them to a large bowl.
Season with salt when they are all done and set aside to cool to room temperature.
Add the garlic paste, salt, and red chilli powder to the yogurt, mix well until smooth.
Pour over the cooled veggies and stir.
Adjust seasoning before serving.
