Cooking Method
Preparation
Wash your hands with soap and water before starting to cook.
Rinse the cauliflower, carrots, and bell peppers under running water, and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Cut the cauliflower into small florets, about 1 inch in size.
Peel and thinly slice the carrots.
Cut the bell peppers into 1/2-inch pieces.
Dice the onions into 1/4-inch pieces.
Chop the cilantro into small pieces.
Cooking
Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a heavy, nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the cumin seeds and cook for a few seconds until they are golden brown.
Add the diced onions and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they are translucent.
Add the mixed vegetables (cauliflower, carrots, and bell peppers) and stir well.
Add the chopped ginger, turmeric, coriander powder, salt, and cayenne pepper, and stir-fry for about 1 minute.
Cover the skillet with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender but firm, stirring 1-2 times to avoid sticking to the bottom.
Open the lid and sprinkle the mango powder and garam masala over the vegetables, and stir carefully in a lifting and turning fashion.
Drizzle the remaining oil around the sides of the pan, allowing the oil to get to the bottom of the pan, and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, stirring once or twice in the same lifting and turning fashion.
Serving
Transfer the cooked vegetables to a serving platter.
Garnish with chopped cilantro.
