Teppanyaki

Ref : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teppanyaki
Now that you have seen the Wiki, let me put in my disclaimer :
This recipe is not what you read about, but a loosely similar improvised version of the same done at the Terminal Food Court in Infy.
So if you liked the Terminal Tappenyaki (and are missing it sorely, like me), here's the recipe:

Ingredients:
  1. 1/2 kg Assorted Vegetables - Aloo (peeled and cut like finger chips), Capsicum ( cut like Aloo) , Beans ( same length as Aloo, cut into halves length-wise) , Carrots ( cut like Aloo) , Bhindi ( Cut diagonally the same length as Aloo), Gobhi ( cut into florets), and if you like them, Karela, Kundri, Beetroot (ugh!)
  2. 2 onions, chopped length-wise
  3. Everest Pav Bhaji masala ( don't ask me how this idea struck me) - 2 tsp.
  4. Chaat masala - 1/4 tsp.
  5. Chilli powder - 1/2 tsp.
  6. Salt - to taste
  7. Oil - a little more than usual :-(  - Around 2 tbsp.? Maybe.
Procedure:
  1. Microwave all the vegetables for around 4 minutes on high. They should be half-cooked.
  2. In a big tawa ( or kadai) , heat oil and fry the onions till golden brown.
  3. Add the half-cooked veggies and toss well. Make sure the vegetable pieces are all oil-coated so that they dont get mashed or get stuck to each other.
  4. Add all the masalas and stir fry. It shouldn't take more than 2-3 minutes to get cooked with all that oil.
  5. Serve hot with phulkas.
Try adding other masalas like jeera powder, dhania powder, amchur powder etc. and let me know if they taste better.
