Desi lasagne(vegetarian)

I wanted to try out something new & different. So decided it would be fun to try out something exotic like a lasagne....I again had to makedo with whatever ingredients were available in my kitchen,except the readymade lasagne sheets,that you get to buy in the store....I used cheddar cheese instead of the parmesan,but the reult was not dissappointing &my husband enjoyed his meal.:)
Would love to share my recipe....

4.In the meantime,heat some oil in a pan & add the ajwain seeds to it,then the finely sliced onions,ginger & garlic.Stir well & once the colour of the onions start changing,add carrots & capsicum.Add some salt & pepper as well.Saute well for at least 5-7 minutes.Finally add the canned diced tomatoes & stir well. Let it cook until the sauce is thick.Keep aside.

5.Take a greased baking dish & pour a layer of the white sauce, place the lasagne sheets & then layer it with the baked vegetables & red sauce. Repeat the process by placing the lasagne sheets, baked vegetables & red sauce & finally finish with the white sauce.Top this with some cheddar cheese.You could put some sliced tomatoes on top too.
