Indian vegetable are not only easy to cook but even time savvy and healthy. They require some spices to enhance the flavour of the savour. Some spices, such as turmeric, cayenne pepper, ginger powder and mango powder are often added with or after the vegetables, because they burn so easily. The heat is then reduced and the vegetables are cooked in their own moisture and vapour. Finally the heat is increased and the vegetables go through a second stir-frying, to get nicely browned and develop a beautiful shiny glaze. Sometimes a little oil or ghee is added to the vegetables at the end, to increase the glaze. Vegetables cooked thus have a roasted flavour and very soft texture, though the pieces hold their shape. Certain vegetables are often cooked prior to frying such as potatoes, yams, plantain (green Banana) and beetroot and this is done because the full robust aroma of fried spices remains intact, as these vegetables oblige for a lot of water and time to cook and prolonged moist cooking robs the spices of much of their fried flavour.
