Step 2 : Finely chop the onion and tomato,slit the green chilly in the middle.

Step 3: Heat oil in a pan, add cumin seeds once it turns light brown add the chopped onions, tomato,green peas, green chilly , coriander,ginger garlic paste and cook for 2-3 mins,then add garam masala powder, turmeric, red chilly powder,asafoetida and salt and cook it for 4-5 mins till you see a thick gravy forming.

Goes well with Roti and Rice

Note : boiling cauliflower and potato is optional....you can cover the pan while cooking instead if you don't boil so that they get cooked well. I prefer boiling cauliflower just to make sure there are no worms :-).....you can also add dhania/corriander powder 1/2tspoon in the process while making the gravy, i don't just to make it a little simple.
