Here is a step-by-step guide on how to make your regular sabzi without a single drop of oil, as instructed by Dr Bimal Chhajer in the interview. First, put a kadhai (pan) on heat. Once it is hot, skip the oil and put cumin seeds directly on the pan and roast it. Now, add the chopped onions if you want to include them in your recipe. Keep cooking and when this mix starts drying, add a little water and keep stirring and cooking. Now add all your spices — salt, turmeric, chilly powder and ginger — to the onion mix. Add a little more water and keep stirring. Next, add chopped tomatoes and keep cooking till you achieve the flavour you desire. The gravy is now ready. “The taste is equally good,” Dr. Bimal Chhajer claims in the video. The digital creator completes the recipe by adding chopping paneer cubes and coriander leaves.
