Vegetable Sabzi

Today I prepared this Sabzi, its so simple and pairs well with chapathi's. ideal to pack for Lunch box. overall a healthy one too. once i happened to buy a sabzi masala from a North Indian Restaurant, ever since iam hooked to that masala. but after the masala got over i mix chilli powder, garam masala and kasuri methi as a substitute for sabzi masala. it works good too. but iam desperate in knowing what all go into sabzi masala. so any one reading this know sabzi masala please share with me.
