  • Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Sprinkle in the turmeric, cumin seeds, coriander powder, and chili flakes. Stir for about 1 minute to release their essential oils.
  • Add the carrots, bell pepper, green beans, and cauliflower to the pot, stirring well to coat the vegetables evenly with the spices.
  • Pour in the can of coconut milk, followed by salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything together and bring to a gentle simmer.
  • Stir in the spinach just before serving and squeeze in lime juice.
  • Sprinkle fresh cilantro on top for added flavor before serving.
