- Add chopped tomato and cook for another 3-4 minutes till the mixture comes together.
- I pureed the tomato-onion mixture (cooled) in my blender. This step is optional.
- Put the puree back in the pan to cook for 2-3 minutes more. Add salt and pepper to your taste in the sauce.
- Now, add the boiled veggies to the sauce and toss gently till all the vegetables are coated with sauce.
For mashed potato layer

To bake Pie
- Spread the vegetables evenly in the pie dish.
- Then spread the mashed potato layer over the vegetable layer so that all the veggies are completely covered.
- Sprinkle black pepper over it.
- Put the dish in a preheated oven and bake till the potato turns golden.
- Serve hot with Garlic Bread and enjoy the yumminess.

Notes
Notes:
1. Do Not overcook the veggies as they cook a little in the oven also. They should still have a slight crunch to them.
2. Don’t throw the water away. It is full of nutrition. you can use this vegetable stock for making dough, in soups, curries, dal wherever you like.
