Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoons Cumin seeds
- 1 medium Onion, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoons Ginger, grated
- 2 medium Tomatoes, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoons Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Cumin powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 medium Carrot, diced
- 100 grams Green beans, chopped
- 100 grams Cauliflower florets
- 50 grams Green peas
- 0.25 cups Water
- 1 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Heat 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
Add 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds and let them sizzle for 30 seconds until aromatic.
Add 1 medium chopped onion and sauté until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves and 1 teaspoon of grated ginger. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Add 2 chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften and release their juices, about 5 minutes.
Stir in 0.5 teaspoons of turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon of coriander powder, 0.5 teaspoons of cumin powder, 0.25 teaspoons of red chili powder, and 0.5 teaspoons of salt. Mix well.
Add 1 diced carrot, 100 grams of chopped green beans, 100 grams of cauliflower florets, and 50 grams of green peas to the pan. Mix to coat the vegetables in the spice mixture.
Pour in 0.25 cups of water, cover the pan with a lid, and let the vegetables simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender.
Remove the lid, increase the heat slightly, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to evaporate excess water, if any.
Turn off the heat and squeeze 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice over the sabji. Mix well.
Garnish with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh cilantro and serve warm with roti, naan, or rice.
