  • Add all cut vegetables and mix well. Add salt and 1 cup water. Once the water starts to bubble up, cover the pan and cook on medium low heat until all the vegetables are cooked tender. Usually takes around 10 minutes. Turn the heat off.

Notes

  • Fresh green chickpeas in the pods are seasonal and not readily available. I often use frozen green chickpeas that are already peeled from the pods come in handy for this recipe. You can also use fresh or frozen green peas instead of green chickpeas.
  • You can also substitute the flat Indian green beans with string beans that are available in most grocery stores.
