To Prepare the Vegetables :

Wash the Vegetables. Peel the Potatoes and Onions. Scoop out the middles of the Potatoes, Capsicums and Tomatoes. Cut the Brinjals and Onions into four in such a way that the Vegetable is held together at the stem end. Fill the Vegetables with stuffing. Reserve the leftover stuffing.

Place the stuffed Potatoes, Onions and Capsicums in a bowl and pressure cook for 3 to 4 whistles.

Take a broad - based pan or tava and heat the oil. Add the Mustard, Jeera and Til. Gently place the stuffed Brinjals and Tomatoes and allow it to cook for 7 to 10 minutes until soft. Once the brinjals and tomatoes are well cooked, add the pressure-cooked potatoes, capsicums and onions to the pan. Sprinkle the reserved stuffing over. Mix gently, taking care not to break the stuffed Vegetables.
