Indian-Inspired Stir-Fry is a colorful dish bursting with spicy flavors of chili powder, cumin, coriander, and turmeric. Stir-frying is an easy cooking technique that includes a small amount of oil and a hot pan to quickly cook ingredients. Constantly stir the vegetables to ensure even cooking and flavor distribution. The lime juice adds brightness to ensure a well-rounded flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced or grated
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon coriander powder
- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 carrot, thinly sliced
- 2 cups cauliflower florets
- ½ cup peas, frozen or canned

Directions
- Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Once heated, add garlic and ginger. Continuously stir and cook aromatics for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
- Add salt, chili powder, ground cumin, coriander powder, and turmeric powder to the pan. Continuously stir and cook for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
- Add red bell pepper, carrot, and cauliflower florets. May need to increase the heat to high to maintain a stir-fry (the ingredients should continue to “sizzle”). Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until ingredients are slightly tender.
