Method
Heat oil in pan. Add green paste and saute for few seconds. Now saute all vegetables for a minute. I have blanced broccoli for about a minute. Add Salt and mix well. Keep aside.
In another pan heat oil or butter. Then add maida & mix well. Saute for a while till thé texture gets a bit coarse. Now add milk in batches taking care to break lumps by whisking it.
Slowly keep adding milk till you get smooth creamy sauce consistency. Now add all tandoor spices and cook it. If the mixture gets too thick, add some water to adjust the consistency.
Heat coal on direct flame for 3/4 minutes. Once the coal is live , place it in a small cup. Place the cup in centre of the sauce. Drizzle few drops of butter or ghee. The coal will start to smoke. Close the lid immediately & allow the smoke to settle in sauce. Keep it for 5 minutes. Smoke Tandoor sauce in now ready.
Add tossed veggies in the sauce & let it cook for 2 minutes. Add red chilli flakes.Garnish with coriander leaves. Vegetables in creamy tandoori sauce are ready. Can be served with boiled pasta or steamed rice. Here I have served with Spinach rice https://www.thefoodiefun.com/post/palak-rice-spinach-rice
