4. When the onions turn translucent and pink, add 2 Tbsp. Ginger Garlic Paste. Cook and stir them with onions together for about 1 minute till they are cooked well.

7. After the spices are cooked well, add 2 finely chopped tomatoes. Mix well & add 1 Roughly Chopped Green Chili and ¼ Cup Yogurt. Mix well till the yogurt merges well with the masala. This would take about 30-40 seconds.
8. When the yogurt is mixed well, add 1 Cup Grated Cauliflower, ½ Cup Finely Chopped & Then Boiled French Beans & 1 Pcs Finely Chopped & Then Boiled Carrot (Capsicum will be added later as it cooks faster than the other vegetables).
9. Mix and mash the vegetables with a light hand and saute them for about 40-50 seconds.
10. After sautéing, add ¼ cup water and mix well.
11. Now cover and cook on low flame for about 15 minutes.
12. After 5 minutes of cooking, add 1 finely chopped capsicum and mix well.
13. After mixing the capsicum cover and cook the vegetables for the remainder of 10 minutes.
14. After cooking for 15 minutes, add ½ Cup Grated Cottage Cheese. Mix well till it merges well.
