Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or skillet over medium heat.
Add the cumin seeds and allow them to splutter for 30 seconds.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for 1 minute until aromatic.
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until softened and oil begins to separate, about 5-7 minutes.
Mix in the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and coriander powder, and cook for 1 minute to allow the spices to release their aroma.
Add the diced potatoes, carrots, cauliflower florets, green peas, and slit green chili. Stir well to combine with the spice mixture.
Pour in the water and season with salt. Stir, cover the pan, and simmer on low heat for 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Garnish the vegetable masala with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve hot with steamed rice, naan, or roti.
