1. Wash and prepare the vegetables: cut cauliflower and broccoli into bite-sized florets; slice the carrot thinly; deseed and chop the bell pepper into strips; and slice the zucchini into half-moons.
2. Mince the garlic and grate the ginger. Set aside.
3. Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the cumin seeds and allow them to sizzle for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Stir and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant and beginning to brown slightly.
5. Add the ground turmeric, ground coriander, and optional red chili powder. Stir well to combine with the ginger and garlic.
6. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, bell pepper, and zucchini to the skillet. Stir well to coat the vegetables evenly with the spice mixture.
7. Sprinkle the salt over the vegetables and stir to combine. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the vegetables cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender yet still vibrant.
8. Remove the lid and increase the heat to high. Sauté the vegetables for an additional 2-3 minutes to slightly caramelize them, enhancing their flavors.
9. Turn off the heat. Chop the cilantro leaves and add them to the skillet, squeezing the juice of half a lemon over the top. Give everything a final gentle stir to incorporate the cilantro and lemon juice.
10. Serve the Paleo Mixed Vegetables Subji hot as a main dish or as a side. Enjoy its blend of flavors and wholesome nutrition.
