Potatoes : 4 medium potatoes, cut into 1 cm thick wedges
Cauliflower : broken into small florets : 1.5 cups

Tomatoes : 1.5 medium tomatoes, sliced
Green Chillies : 1-2 , slit across
Chilli powder : 1/2 tsp
Kashmiri chilli powder : 1/2 tsp
Coriander powder : 1 tsp
Turmeric powder : 1/2 tsp

Mix the powders with 3 tbsp water and keep aside
Heat oil in a pan, add the cumin allow to crackle.
On low heat Add the Green Chillies, ginger and asafoetida.

Once the powders are cooked and the water evaporates add the potatoes. Give it a good toss
After 2 minutes add the cauliflower, peas and saute again.
Finally add the tomatoes, mix well and cover with the lid and cook for about 7-8 minutes
After that open to check Doneness, if required add a couple of tbsp water if they are sticking to the bottom of the pan.
