4) Add onions and ginger garlic chilli paste and saute for couple of minutes .
5) Add vegetables and cook till they are half cooked .
6) Add salt and garam masala and cook for a min .
7) Keep aside .

To assemble :

This looks very easy and a quick recipe. One doubt, Sorry never ever had eaten this pie before, but is the crust with mashed potatoes?? I thought you need a pie crust for this pie? Will be trying this soon.
Love Ash.
