Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces medium potatoes
- 1 head medium cauliflower
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 2 pieces green chilies
- 1 piece medium onion
- 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 2 teaspoons coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes.
Cut the cauliflower into small florets and wash them thoroughly.
Finely chop the onion and slit the green chilies lengthwise.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add cumin seeds to the hot oil and let them sizzle for a few seconds until fragrant.
Add the chopped onions and green chilies to the pan. Sauté until the onions are golden brown.
Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for another minute, until the raw smell disappears.
Add the turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well.
Add the cubed potatoes and cauliflower florets to the pan and mix to coat them evenly with the spice mixture.
Pour in the water, cover the pan with a lid, and let it cook on low heat for 20-25 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent the vegetables from sticking to the pan.
Once the potatoes and cauliflower are tender, sprinkle the garam masala over them and stir gently to combine.
Remove the pan from heat and garnish with chopped cilantro and lemon juice.
Serve hot with Indian bread like roti or naan, or with steamed rice.
