Step by Step Method
Step 1
Cut cauliflower, carrot and green beans into thick long pieces (the green beans can be left whole or shortened, depending on its length).

Make a fine paste of garlic, ginger and green chili.

Add all the boiled vegetables and fry at high flame for 5 minutes.

Now make a lump free paste of cornflour dissolved in 1/2 of cup of water.
Step 12
Add it to the vegetables and cook on high flame till all the water evaporates and the gravy thickens. Taste for seasoning and adjust, if necessary.
