Vegetable Makhanwala is a delicious side dish from North Indian cuisine. It is a  medley of vegetables cooked in butter with a few spices. It makes a good accompaniment with chapathi or phulka. Ideally, it should be served with nan or roti. 

This dish is ideal for a family get-together or parties. You can make use of many kind of vegetables. I have used beans, carrot, capsicum, potato and green pea. You can add cauliflower and paneer pieces too. The vegetables can either be boiled or sauteed in a little oil. I have done the later mehod. The dish is made in several steps as cutting the vegetables, saute the vegetables, sauting the vegetables for the paste, making of paste and finally the gravy.
