Start by preparing the vegetables: cut the cauliflower into small florets, dice the carrot, chop the green beans, cube the potato, and set aside the green peas.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat and spray lightly with low-fat cooking spray or add a tablespoon of low-fat oil.
Add the cumin seeds to the pan and allow them to splutter for about 30 seconds.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for another minute until the raw smell disappears.
Add the chopped tomato and cook until it becomes soft and mushy, about 3-4 minutes.
Mix in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Cook the spices with the tomato mixture for 2 minutes, stirring often.
Add the chopped vegetables: cauliflower, carrot, green beans, peas, and potato. Stir well to coat them with the spice mixture.
Cover the pan with a lid and let the vegetables cook on low-medium heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but not overcooked.
Sprinkle garam masala over the cooked vegetables and stir to combine.
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves and remove from heat.
Serve the low-fat mixed vegetable subji hot, accompanied by roti, paratha, or rice.
