Add chopped capsicum (bell pepper) and stir fry for a minute

Keep them aside
To the same pan add 2 tbsp. of mustard oil
Add the spice mix

Once the spices start to splutter, the chopped onions, 1/2 tsp. of salt and fry till slightly golden brown in color. This should take approximately 3 min
Add turmeric powder, ginger paste and slit green chillies and stir fry for ~30 sec
Add the cauliflower florets and capsicum (bell pepper) pieces. Add 1/2 tsp. of salt and mix well

Sprinkle ~2 tbsp. of water, place the lid on and cook till the cauliflower is tender. This should take approximately 10 min (Stir intermittently)
