Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until soft and translucent.
Stir in the garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 1–2 minutes until aromatic.
Add the chopped tomato and cook for 3–4 minutes, mashing it slightly to form a paste-like consistency.
Sprinkle in the turmeric powder, ground coriander, garam masala, and red chili powder (if using). Stir well to combine with the tomato mixture.
Add the diced carrot, cauliflower florets, green beans, bell pepper, and green peas. Mix the vegetables with the spice mixture to coat them evenly.
Pour in 1/4 cup of water, cover the pan with a lid, and let the vegetables cook for 12–15 minutes on low to medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the vegetables are tender yet slightly crisp, remove the lid and cook for another 2–3 minutes to allow any excess water to evaporate.
Turn off the heat, stir in the lemon juice, and garnish with chopped fresh coriander leaves.
Serve warm with whole-grain roti, brown rice, or as a side dish to a larger meal.
