Baked Veg. Lasagna- - S/S pictures

          We had tasted lasagna for the first time during our trip to Bintan where we had very little vegetarian options. But then enjoyed the vegetarian lasagna to the core. After that we had this during couple of occasions and I was looking forward to try this at home. I had got these lasagna sheets from Giants supermarket long time ago. A recipe using non vegetarian sauce was mentioned on the box and hence I was looking for a vegetarian recipe.
           I found one in Tarla Dalal 's book and the recipe seemed to be a easy one. I have made very slight modifications to the recipe.

Ingredients-

Lasagna sheets- 4-5 numbers
Thick coating white sauce- 2 cups (see recipe here.)
Vegetable sauce-
Mixed boiled vegetables- 3 cups(I used french beans, carrots and peas)
Potatoes- 2 boiled
Onion- 1 chopped
Garam masala- 1tsp
Green chillies- 2 chopped(I did not use)
Ghee/butter- 1tbsp
Tomato puree- 1/2 cup(not in the original recipe)see notes.
Salt to taste
Grated cheese- 1 cup
Butter for greasing

Notes- For tomato puree, you can use store bought one. I placed a huge tomato in boiling water for a minute, peeled off the skin and blended it to a puree.

For the vegetable sauce-
   Mash the potatoes coarsely. Heat butter and fry the onion for a minute. Microwave the vegetable for 5 minutes at 100% power. Cook till they are soft and crisp. Add this to the onions along with the puree, salt and garam masala. Cook for 2-3 minutes.


      I used oven ready lasagna sheets. So I could use them directly. Sometimes, you may need to cook the sheets in boiling water till soft and then use them in the recipe. So proceed according to the package instructions.

In a well greased baking dish, add a ladle full of white sauce. Place a lasagna sheet on it.

Next add the vegetable sauce on it . Pour more white sauce on it.

     Again arrange a lasagna sheet on this and pour the vegatable sauce followed by the white sauce. Repeat this with rest of the sheets and sauces.

Sprinkle the cheese on top.

Bake in a preheated oven at 200c for around 45 minutes or until golden brown.

Allow it to cool.It is super hot.

Cut vertically with a knife and serve.
