Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds until they become fragrant.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until golden brown.
Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and chopped green chili, cooking for another minute.
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they become soft and the oil begins to separate from the mixture.
Mix in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and cook for a minute to toast the spices.
Add the diced potatoes, carrots, cauliflower florets, and green peas. Stir well to coat the vegetables with the spice mixture.
Pour in the water and add salt. Stir and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let it simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Check occasionally and add a little more water if necessary to prevent sticking, ensuring the vegetables are cooked thoroughly.
