Here is my Indianized version of chili which probably tastes of nothing like the traditional stuff, but makes a healthy, easy to cook and filling meal.

Ingredients

1 tbsp oil

1 medium onion, finely chopped

1 medium green chili, finely chopped

3-4 cloves of garlic, crushed

A small piece of ginger, finely chopped

2 cups chopped mixed vegetables (potato, cauliflower, sweet potato, green peas, pumpkin, carrot, eggplant, etc.)

2-3 medium tomatoes, coarsely chopped

1/4 tsp cumin powder (jeera)

Italian seasoning, to taste

Vegetarian chili is undoubtedly one of my favorite one-pot meals. Chili is basically an American dish with Mexican roots, traditionally made with meat. A spicy, rich and hearty stew. Over the years vegetarians adapted the recipe to make meatless versions, and vegans went a step further to remove the dairy components as well. 

Method:

1. Heat oil in a pressure cooker and add the onion, garlic, chili and ginger. Cook on low-medium heat until the onion turns translucent. 

2. Add the mixed vegetables and continue cooking till they soften a bit. Now add the tomato. Let the mixture cook till the tomato turns pulpy.
