Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 3 medium Potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 2 teaspoons Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 inch piece (grated) Ginger
- 3 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 2 medium (finely chopped) Tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Cilantro (fresh coriander leaves)
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Wash and cut the cauliflower into small florets. Peel and dice the potatoes into bite-sized cubes.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for 30 seconds until aromatic.
Stir in the grated ginger and minced garlic, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the turmeric powder, ground coriander, and red chili powder to the pan, stirring well to release the spices' aroma.
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently, until they soften and form a thick base.
Toss in the diced potatoes and cauliflower florets, stirring to coat them with the spice mixture.
Season with salt and pour in 1/4 cup of water. Cover the pan and reduce the heat to low. Let the vegetables cook for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes and cauliflower are tender but not mushy.
Remove the lid and cook for another 2–3 minutes to evaporate any excess water, allowing the flavors to meld.
Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and serve hot with naan, roti, or rice.
