Heat the oil in a pressure cooker on medium heat.
Once hot add mustard seeds and let them pop. Then add cumin seeds and let them sizzle.
Now add curry leaves. Immediately add chopped onions and mix well.
Saute till onions get translucent or light pink in color.
Now add ginger paste and green chili. Cook for a minute.
Add rest of the veggies and mix well. Cook for a minute or two.
Add red chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder and salt. Stir well and cook for a minute.
