What You’ll Need (Basics Only)

- 2 tablespoons oil

- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds

- 1 onion, finely chopped

- 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste

- 2 tomatoes, chopped or pureed

- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder

- 1 teaspoon coriander powder

- 1 teaspoon red chili powder (or to taste)

- 2 to 3 cups chopped mixed veggies

- About 1/2 cup water

- Fresh coriander for garnish

Let’s Cook This Thing

1. Heat your oil in a pan and toss in the cumin seeds. Let them pop for a few seconds.

2. Add your chopped onions and sauté until they’re golden. Don’t rush this step—it’s where the flavor builds.

3. Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for a minute or two until the raw smell fades.

4. Add the spices—turmeric, coriander, chili powder. Let everything mix well.

5. Toss in your tomatoes and cook them down until they turn soft and the oil starts separating.

6. Now add your veggies and salt. Stir everything to coat nicely in that spicy goodness.

7. Pour in about half a cup of water, cover the pan, and let it cook on low-medium heat for 15–20 minutes, until the veggies are soft but not mushy.

8. Finish with a sprinkle of garam masala and some fresh coriander.

So, What’s the Vibe?
