  1. In a large pan add 3 tbsp preferred oil and 1 tsp ghee, once it is hot add mustard seeds, cumin seeds and asafoetida.
  2. Add chopped onions, garlic and ginger and sauté for a couple of minutes.

  4. Mix all for a minute and add potatoes and cauliflower in the pot with ¼ cup of water.
  5. Let it cook for 10 to 12 min at least at medium flame.
  6. Check if it needs more water so it does not get stuck at bottom and add red chilli powder, garam masala and mix again.
  7. Add frozen peas and keep cooking for about 8 to 10 mins. Check the potatoes afterwards if they are soft.
  8. Once you think the veggies are soft, add the dry mango powder and taste for salt. Add chopped cilantro and serve hot with Roti/ paratha or rice.
