• Potatoes – 2
• Carrot – 1
• Capsicum – 1 (chopped)
• Green peas – ½ cup
• Cauliflower – 1 cup (chopped)
• Green chillies – 2 (chopped)
• Ginger – 1-inch piece (grated)
• Tomatoes – 2 (chopped)
• Turmeric powder – ½ tsp
• Coriander powder – 1 tsp
• Cumin seeds – ½ tsp
• Red chilli powder – ½ tsp
• Garam masala – ½ tsp
• Salt – as per taste
• Fresh coriander – for garnishing
• Oil – 2 tbsp

Winter is the best season to use fresh, nutrient-rich vegetables. Start by washing and chopping all the veggies — potatoes, carrots, capsicum, cauliflower, and peas.

Heat oil in a pan. Once hot, add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Then add grated ginger and green chillies. Sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

Add chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften.

Now add turmeric, red chilli powder, and coriander powder. Mix well and sauté for 2–3 minutes so the spices blend properly.

Add all the chopped vegetables to the pan and mix well. Add salt and cover the pan. Let the vegetables cook on low flame for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

If the mixture feels dry, add a little water. Cook until all vegetables become soft and well-cooked. Finally, add garam masala and mix everything together.

When the curry is ready, garnish with fresh coriander leaves. Serve hot with roti, paratha, or rice for a comforting winter meal.

• You can add other vegetables of your choice like beans, bottle gourd, or radish.
• Add a splash of lemon juice to make the curry more tangy and flavourful.
• If you enjoy spicy food, increase the quantity of green chillies or red chilli powder.
