NOTE: For fast cooking, take the veggies in a pressure cooker, add 2-3 cups of water and pressure cook it for 2-3 whistle.

4. Mash the veggies with the help of a masher or a fork.

NOTE: Here I am using kashmiri red chili powder which is mild in spice level and gives a good color to the curry. If you are using regular chili powder, just add 1/2 tablespoon of it. For good color, you can use red food color.
