Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for 20 minutes, then drain.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and sauté until golden brown.
Add the cumin seeds to the pan and sauté for about 30 seconds until they start to crackle.
Stir in the mixed vegetables and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Add the drained rice to the pan and gently stir to combine with the vegetables.
Sprinkle the garam masala and turmeric powder over the rice and vegetables. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
Pour in the water and add salt to taste. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pan with a lid, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the water is absorbed.
Remove the pan from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
