Preparation
In a bowl, mix cauliflower and peppers. Set aside.
Cooking
Heat oil in a heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Be cautious as the oil may splatter.
Add asafetida and cumin seeds, and cook for a few seconds until seeds are golden brown. Stir constantly to prevent burning.
Add onion and fry for 1 to 2 minutes until transparent. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Stir in ginger. Cook for a brief moment until the aroma is released.
Add the mixed vegetables and stir. Sprinkle with turmeric, salt, coriander, and cayenne pepper. Stir in a lifting and turning motion for 2 to 3 minutes, coating the vegetables with the spices.
Cover with the lid and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, until cauliflower is tender. Stir the vegetables a couple of times during cooking. If the vegetables are sticking to the bottom, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water.
Sprinkle amchur or lime juice over the cooked vegetables. Stir in a lifting and turning fashion to distribute evenly.
Transfer the cooked vegetables to a serving platter. Do not cover the vegetables to prevent them from becoming too soft.
