Ingredients:

Vegetable (Chopped into Small Pieces) ):

• 1 cup cauliflower florets
• 1 medium potato
• 1 medium carrot
• half cup green peas
• half cup capsicum
• half cup green beans
• 1 medium tomato (finely chopped )
• 1 medium onion (finely chopped )

For Cooking:

• 3 tablespoon oil or ghee
• 1 tablespoon cumin seeds
• 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
• 1 tablespoon coriander powder

• 1 tablespoon red chili powder (adjust to taste )

• half tablespoon garam masala

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Base

Heat oil or ghee in a pan on medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them crackle for a few seconds. Add chopped onions and sauté until golden brown. Add ginger-garlic paste and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften and oil starts to separate.

Step 2: Add Spices

Add coriander powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the masala is well-cooked.

Step 3: Add Vegetables

Add potatoes and carrots first (since they take longer to cook ). Stir well and cover for 5 minutes. Add cauliflower, green beans, and peas. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes. Add capsicum and green chili. Mix everything well. Cover and cook on low heat for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4: Final Touch

Check if the vegetables are tender but not mushy. Add garam masala and mix well. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.

• Serve hot with roti, paratha, naan, or plain rice.
• Pair with raita (yogurt sauce ) and salad for a complete meal.
