Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- Use an open pan for stir-frying and don't overcrowd it.
- Use dry vegetables for stir-frying to maintain a crispy texture and prevent sogginess.
- For a deeper Indian flavor, finish the stir-fry with a sprinkle of chaat masala or amchur (dried mango powder).
- If you prefer extra-crisp veggies, stir-fry them in batches over high heat.
- To make this dish a complete meal, add paneer or tofu during the last two minutes of cooking.
Expert Tips
- For a smoky flavor, try using a wok or cast iron skillet for stir-frying.
- Prepare all your vegetables and ingredients before you begin cooking to ensure a smooth and efficient stir-frying process.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables and protein combinations to create your own unique stir-fry.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- Reheat the stir-fry in a hot pan to revive its texture; avoid microwaving, which can make it soggy.
