Vegetarian Pie

This happens to be an experimental dish & is a combinaion of a lot of recipes I read online. I was looking for something that could use things that is mostly available at home & not too tiresome.
Well, am quite happy with the result...:)

Ingredients:

For the crust:
1.plain flour-1 cup
2.milk-half a cup or as much as u require
3.fresh cream-2-3 tbs
4.salt to taste
5.ajwain-1 tbs
6.butter-1/2 tbs

For the pie:
1.potatoes-4-5 large ones(boiled & peeled)
2.carrots-2 nos(small,finely juliened)
3.capsicum-1 no (finely juliened)
4.red onion-1 no(finely sliced)
5.ginger-a tiny piece(finely chopped)
6.garlic-2 cloves
7.chilli powder-as per taste
8.turmeric-a pinch
9.salt to taste
10.butter-2tbs
11.jeera-1 tbs
12.oil-2 bs
13.cheese(I used the usual cheese slices)
14.tomatoes-1 no(big,cut into rounds)
15.Blak pepper-to taste

Procedure:

First the crust has to be prepared. For that, mix all the ingredients for the crust into a dough & roll it out in the shape of a chappati,but much thicker(around 3 cms in th). Put the rolled out chappati onto a greased baking slide & bake at 200 degrees for 20 minutes.

In the meantime, mash the boiled potatoes,along with some cream,milk,salt & pepper.Keep this aside.
In a skillet,heat some oil & butter. Put some jeera & once it starts spluttering,add some finely sliced onions,ginger & garlic & keep stirring.Once the onions start changing colours,add the carrots & capsicum.Add salt,turmeric & chilli.Keep stirring & reduce the heat.Keep it covered for a few minutes,until cooked.Ensure that it is not soggy,but crispy in nature.
Once done,keep aside.

Finally,take a greased oven dish & place the prepared crust at the bottom,then layer it with the mashed potatoes & finally the cooked vegetables.Top it with the sliced tomatoes & cheese slices.You could use shredded cheese too. Bake for 30-40 minutes at 200 degress.
Serve this hot(cut into slices) & Enjoyy...:)
