Instructions

Cook Vegetables: Add diced potatoes and cauliflower florets to the pan. Stir well to coat them in the spice mixture. Cover the pan with a lid and cook on medium-low heat for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until vegetables are tender and golden brown.
Finish with Garam Masala: Remove the lid, sprinkle garam masala over the top, and stir through. Cook uncovered for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
