sardiyo wali tehari masla raitha ke sath,..or meetha mai aam shrikhand....

In my last post of bharwa baingan i wrote about TEHARI,..TEHARI reminds of short winter days.and.long.cold nights,,,of december,,,as the veggies used in making tehari are cauliflower and peas,..these veggies are readily available in winter..and i still remember my father used to ask my mother to prepare this,,,the side dishes used to be tamatar ki chutney,dhania chutney,curd ,papad and onion salad,..what a saturday meal....i literally used to lick my fingers...and can still remember the taste which used to be spicy enough,..i am stil learnin cooking,..and i know i have to still learn a lot,..whenever i prepare TEHARI back here.,..i try to create the same recipe which my mother prepares,...she prepares in cooker,,,but i use nonstick kadai,,as it is convenient for me..and the masala doesnt stick while cooking,,,
back here in singapore,..i usually prepare Tehari when i feel like eating something spicy with raita,.as cauliflower is available here all the yr around its not a winer dish for me here.easy to cook and good to taste here goes the recipe of tehari

ingredients

cauliflower chopped depending on your need half will do (i usually boil for 4 minutes before using)
potato chopped and boiled for three minutes
onion chopped one
tomato one chopped
ginger garlic chopped one tablespoon
(i didnt use green peas as it was out of stock,can use green peas too)
