• All-purpose flour (maida) 1 cup
• Egg 1
• Oil 1 tbsp
• Salt to taste
• Capsicum 1
• Carrot 1
• Yellow squash (or cucumber) – 1
• Mushroom sliced 1/4 cup
• Tomato 4
• Tomato puree 1 cup
• Cucumber 1

• Salt To taste
Method:
- Mix the flour and salt thoroughly. Add the egg and oil and mix well so that it looks like bread crumbs.
- Add just enough water so that it just binds the above mixture. Knead very softly for 7 minutes and do not overdo it.
- Keep the dough for half an hour by covering it with a cloth. Divide this into 4 parts.
- Roll each part to a square of 10 inches. Cut this into small strips and cook in boiling water for 2-3 minutes.
- Drain them and put it under cold water and again drain it. Add a few drops of oil and toss them and keep aside.
- Chop the onions and tomato.
- Dice all the other vegetables.
- Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed vessel or pan. Add the garlic-ginger paste and fry.
- Add the chopped onion till they start glistening. Add all the chopped vegetables and cook for 5 minutes till they are partially cooked.
- Add the tomato puree and boil for a minute. Add salt, pepper powder, oregano, cut cilantro, basil leaves and mix well and keep aside.
- Grease an oven-proof dish. Layer the prepared lasagne strips first.
- Then, add the vegetable-tomato mixture. Then, sprinkle the cheese.
- Repeat in the same order and finish the top layer with lasagne strips. Cover it with the vegetable-tomato mixture and sprinkle the cheese on the top of it. Dash it with the butter.
- Bake this in a preheated oven of 350 degree F for 15 minutes.
- Switch off the oven but leave it inside for 5 minutes before serving.
