- Add remaining Oil to the pan and heat it properly.
- Temper the Oil with Bengali Five Spices or Panch Phoron and dry Red Chili.
- Add cubed Potatoes and fry till the potatoes soften a bit and add Pumpkin, Drumsticks, Snake Gourd, Aubergine and Green Chili one by one.
- Sauté the veggies on low flame for 5-7 minutes.
- Now add Turmeric Powder, Red Chili Powder, Sugar, and Salt and mix properly.
- Cover the pan with a lid and cook on low flame for 10 minutes.
