Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 large, finely chopped Onion
- 1 small, finely chopped Green chili
- 3 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 inch piece, minced Ginger
- 2 medium, finely chopped Tomato
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Cilantro
Instructions
Break the cauliflower into medium-sized florets and rinse them thoroughly under cold water. Let them drain and set aside.
Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the finely chopped onion and green chili to the pan. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the onions turn translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and ginger. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the raw smell of garlic disappears.
Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes until they become soft and start to release oil on the sides.
Sprinkle turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt over the tomato mixture. Mix well to incorporate the spices.
Add the cauliflower florets to the pan and toss them with the spice mixture to coat evenly.
Pour in the water, stir, and cover the pan. Reduce the heat to low and let the cauliflower cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender and cooked through.
Uncover the pan and sprinkle garam masala over the cooked cauliflower. Stir well to combine the flavors.
Turn off the heat, garnish with chopped cilantro, and give it a final stir before serving.
Serve the cauliflower subji hot with roti, naan, or rice.
