GOOD DAY ZOLEY, after looking around I found a recipe for indian vegetable curry. Now maybe you could substitute your ingredients to your liking.
Let me know if that works for you.

Takari
(Indian Vegetable Curry)
6 to 8 servings

Asafetida (also spelled asfoetida), from the Farsi aza (gum) and Latin foetida (stinking), is a dried yellowish gum resin made from the rhizomes of a variety of fennel. Although native to the Middle East and mentioned in the Talmud (chiltit), today it is primarily found in Indian cooking. Indians believe that asafetida is good for the digestion and commonly add it to legume dishes to help their digestibility. Asafetida is available in lump or powdered form: Raw it has an unpleasant flavor and stinking odor; cooked it develops a garlicky flavor and truffle-like aroma which complements other foods. Use in small amounts in curries, stews, and dried bean dishes.

Takari in an Indian method of cooking vegetables in their own juices. The vegetables are enlivened with typical Indian seasonings.

3 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter) or vegetable oil
1 teaspoon cumin seeds, or 1 tablespoon ground cumin
1½ teaspoons minced fresh green chilies, or ¼ teaspoon cayenne
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger (optional)
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground coriander
Pinch of asafetida (dried gum resin) (optional)
1 head cauliflower, cut into small florets 3 medium carrots, thinly sliced
2 green bell peppers, seeded and diced
4 to 6 medium zucchini, halved horizontally and thinly sliced
6 to 8 plum tomatoes, cut into ½-inch pieces
2 cups cooked chickpeas
2½ pounds small red potatoes, cooked and cubed (optional)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
About 2 teaspoons salt
½ cup chopped cilantro or fresh parsley

1. Heat the ghee in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and sauté until they begin to crackle. Add the chilies and, if desired, ginger and sauté until lightly colored. Add the turmeric, coriander, and, if desired, asafetida.
2. Stir in the cauliflower, carrots, and bell peppers and sauté for about 3 minutes. Cover and simmer until the vegetables are nearly tender, about 10 minutes.
3. Add the zucchini and toss to coat. Add the tomatoes, chickpeas, and, if using, potatoes. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, 2 to 5 minutes. Stir in the sugar and salt. Sprinkle with the cilantro. Serve with rice or Indian breads such as chapati.

VARIATION
Alu Matar: Substitute 1 cup green peas for chickpeas.
