If microwave oven is not there, add the cut vegetables after cumin seeds are spluttered and sprinkle few drops of water and cook covered. In between, check and sprinkle water as much required and cook covered till the vegetables are fully cooked. Remaining procedure follow as shown in the movie.

All the spices added are to taste so adjust accordingly.
