Put some chunks of onion, green/red pepper, chillies etc. in a bowl and drizzle lightly with oil.  Cover with cling-film, pierce, and bung in the micro for, say, a minute.  If your tomato quarters are rock hard they can be pre-cooked this way as well. If not leave them for cooking in the pan (don't forget them like I did).  Chewy has already posted a recipe/method somewhere on how to do this.  Takes the rawness out of the veg.  TAs often deep-fry briefly to achieve the same, e.g jalfrezi.

Need a hot wok.  Add slug of oil. Cook up a nice mix/paste of G or G/G paste, kashmiri/degi, a little mix powder (e.g quarter tsp), fresh garlic, and dilute tomato puree (you can have a little smoked paprika pre-mixed into the puree if you like).  Perhaps a pinch of your fav garam. In with the tikka/veg and coat/stir fry.  Quickly.  Straight in with lemon squirt and a couple of slugs of soy, and a goodly splodge of Herra chilli and garlic sauce.  Ideal, perhaps, is a fairly hot, sweet and sticky finish, with plenty of crunch left in the veg.  Experiment balancing the dish flavours/sweetness with white wine vinegar and jaggery.  All ready and tipped into a TA container in about 3 mins?  Not much longer any way.  Chopped coriander or chive garnish. Have fun.  Cracked black pepper is also, I feel, a mighty fine addition.   


Warmed up the Atomic last night.  Dammed tasty.
