Instructions
Wash and chop the mixed vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Boil or steam them until they are 80% cooked. Set aside.
Heat the oil or ghee in a large pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until golden brown.
Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and green chili. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the raw smell disappears.
Add the chopped tomato and cook until it turns soft and the oil begins to separate.
Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for 1 minute.
Lower the heat and add the whisked yogurt, stirring constantly to prevent curdling.
