Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Wash and chop all vegetables (bell pepper, zucchini, carrot, onion, tomato) into bite-sized pieces.
- Preheat a grill pan or non-stick griddle on medium heat and drizzle a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
- In a bowl, toss the chopped vegetables with olive oil, chaat masala (or spices as suggested), salt and black pepper so that every piece is lightly coated.
- Spread the vegetables on the hot grill pan in a single layer and grill for about 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally until vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
- Once grilled, transfer the vegetables into a serving bowl and let them cool slightly.
- Drizzle fresh lemon juice over the grilled vegetables and sprinkle a bit more chaat masala or black pepper if desired.
- Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
You can use any seasonal vegetables available at home. Grilling adds smoky flavour and retains fibre — ideal for a healthy diet. Adjust spices to your taste. Serve as a light side salad or with chapati or rice.
