• Onion - 1 medium, finely chopped
• Tomato - 1 medium, chopped
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated

• Coriander powder - 1 teaspoon
• Garam masala - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Fresh cilantro - for garnish
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Water - 500 ml

Steps

1. In a large pot, bring water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and allow them to sizzle for a few seconds.
3. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and green chili, and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
5. Add the diced potatoes and cauliflower florets to the pan, along with turmeric powder, coriander powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the vegetables with the spices.
6. Pour in 250 ml of water, cover the pan, and let it simmer for about 10 minutes or until the potatoes and cauliflower are tender.
7. Once the vegetables are cooked, add the chopped tomatoes and garam masala. Cook uncovered for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
8. Add the cooked pasta to the vegetable mixture and toss everything together until well combined. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more water to reach the desired consistency.
9. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
