Ingredients:

2 cups mixed vegetables (such as carrots, peas, bell peppers, cauliflower, broccoli)

2 onions, finely chopped

2 tomatoes, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1-inch piece of ginger, grated

2 green chilies, slit lengthwise

1 teaspoon cumin seeds

1 teaspoon coriander powder

1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder

1/2 teaspoon red chili powder

1 teaspoon garam masala

Salt, to taste

2 tablespoons cooking oil or ghee

Fresh coriander leaves, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

Heat the cooking oil or ghee in a large skillet or pan over medium heat.

Add the cumin seeds to the hot oil and let them sizzle for a few seconds until they release their aroma.

Add the finely chopped onions to the pan and sauté until they turn golden brown.

Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and slit green chilies. Sauté for another minute until the raw aroma disappears.

Add the finely chopped tomatoes to the pan and cook until they become soft and mushy.

Once the tomatoes are cooked, add the mixed vegetables to the pan. Mix well and cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.

Sprinkle the turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt over the vegetables. Stir to coat the vegetables evenly with the spices.

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the vegetables simmer for another 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are fully cooked but still retain their texture.

Once the vegetables are cooked to your liking, remove the pan from the heat.

Garnish the mixed vegetables with freshly chopped coriander leaves before serving.

Serve the 5-star style mixed vegetables hot with naan, roti, or steamed rice.
