Method to Cook Mix subji / Indian style Mix Vegetable Stir Fry

Slice off both the ends of red radishes. Make thin round slices and partly cut into pieces. I used around 8-10 red radishes. Refer *[Pic-A]. Cut Green beans in french style. Cut each mushroom into 2 or 4 pieces depending on the size.
Crush ginger and green chilies into coarse dry mixture.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a heavy bottomed saute pan, add sliced onions - stir fry for 6-7 minutes on a medium heat. Add ginger+green chili mixture, saute for one minute. Now add 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, spice blend, save 1 teaspoon for later step. Mix and saute for 2-3 minutes on medium low heat. Sprinkle water if mixture gets too dry.
Now add green beans and chopped pieces of red radish *[Pic-A] (round slices to be added later) mix well with onion-spice mixture, sprinkle very little salt - stir fry on high heat for 2-3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, add half a cup water, cover with lid and simmer for 6-7 minutes. Stir at some interval.
Add mushrooms and red radish round slices,*[Pic-B] some more salt, 1 teaspoon reserved spice blend and few chopped cilantro leaves. Stir to combine all, saute for 3-4 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water. Cover the lid and cook for 4-5 minutes over medium heat. Make sure there is enough moisture in the saute pan, stir at some interval.
Lastly add 3/4 cup frozen green peas, Mix and cook on low heat without lid for 3-4 minutes. Once green peas are tender and excess water has evaporated, shut off the heat. Sprinkle and mix remaining chopped cilantro. Serve hot with rice and chapati/roti.
