👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Sauté the Aromatics

Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds. Add onions and sauté until golden brown. Stir in garlic and ginger; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 2: Add the Spices

Add turmeric, curry powder, and chili powder. Stir for a few seconds to toast the spices. Add chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften and blend into the mix.

Step 3: Cook the Vegetables

Add the carrots, cauliflower, and green beans. Stir well to coat them in the spices. Pour in the coconut milk and add salt. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15–20 minutes until the veggies are tender.

Step 4: Finish & Serve

Taste and adjust salt or spice as needed. Garnish with chopped coriander. Serve hot with rice or warm naan bread.
