Notes
1. I have added carrots, onion, tomato and capsicum, but you can choose other veggies of your choice like broccoli, beans, coloured bell pepper, zucchini.
2. Vegetables can be roasted in an oven or you can grill them if you want.
3. Seasoning and topping also can be customized according to your taste.
4. If you are a cheese lover, add grated cheese on warm macaroni just before serving that's makes it more creamy in taste.
5. To make it vegan skip paneer and can add tofu if you want.
