Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 1 cup Green peas (fresh or frozen)
- 3 medium Tomatoes
- 1 medium Onion
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 1 inch piece Ginger
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro leaves (for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and cut the cauliflower into small florets.
Finely chop the onion, tomatoes, garlic, and ginger.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or skillet over medium heat.
Add the cumin seeds to the hot oil and let them crackle for about 30 seconds.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until it turns golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften and form a thick paste, about 5-7 minutes.
Mix in the turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder (if using), and salt. Stir well.
Add the cauliflower florets to the pan and mix to coat them with the spice mixture.
Pour in the water and cover the pan with a lid. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender.
Once the cauliflower is cooked, add the green peas and garam masala. Stir and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Garnish with chopped cilantro leaves before serving.
Serve the curry hot with rice, roti, or naan.
