  Then add chili peppers. Add the cumin seeds, reduce the heat to low and cover.
• Add the curry leaves, and fry the onions over medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
• Add the ginger and green chilli and fry for about 1 minute.
• Add the vegetables at this point. Stir fry well over medium heat, then cover and steam over low heat.
