Method:

1. Heat the oil in a large wok or heavy-based saucepan, add the onion and fry gently for 5-10 minutes or until lightly browned.

2. Add the garlic, ginger, chili powder, coriander, turmeric and a pinch of salt, and fry for 2-3 minutes.

3. Add the diced vegetables and stir-fry for a further 2-3 minutes. Add either the chopped tomatoes or the lemon juice. Stir well and add a little water.

4. Cover and cook gently for 10-12 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender, adding a little more water, if necessary, to prevent the vegetables sticking to the bottom of the wok. Serve immediately.
