Instructions
Heat vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the finely sliced onion and sauté for 5-6 minutes until golden brown.
Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and slit green chili. Cook for another 2 minutes until aromatic.
Add the sliced bell peppers and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften and oil starts to separate from the mixture, about 5-7 minutes.
Add cauliflower florets, green beans, sliced carrot, and peas. Stir well to combine.
Add ground coriander, ground cumin, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix thoroughly to coat the vegetables in the spices.
Pour in 150 ml of water, stir, and cover the pan. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
Remove the lid and cook for another 2-3 minutes to reduce any excess liquid to desired consistency.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
