ALMOND VEGETABLES !!!!!


Its a chinese dish & i first tasted this dish at restura Ocean pearl, Udupi when we went to celebrate our son's 12th reults. I fell in love with dish as i like almonds, chinese cuisine & non spicy dishes very much. It looked very much easy to prepare at home for me. When i was searching for this recipe in google, i saw Master chef Sanjeev kapoor's recipe  & decided to try it. Ofcourse i skipped few veggies & added few veggies what i had in my fridge . & I added black pepper powder instead of white pepper powder , hence the colour :P
