Begin by washing 400g of cauliflower florets thoroughly and allowing them to drain.
In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of ghee over medium heat.
Once the ghee is hot, add 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds and 0.5 teaspoon of mustard seeds. Wait until they start to crackle and pop.
Sprinkle 0.25 teaspoon of asafoetida (hing) into the pan followed by 0.5 teaspoon of turmeric powder and sauté briefly for a few seconds.
Add 1 medium chopped green chili and 1 teaspoon of grated ginger into the pan; fry them for another minute until aromatic.
Introduce 1 medium chopped tomato to the pan. Cook until the tomatoes are soft and start releasing oil along the edges.
Add 0.5 teaspoon of red chili powder and 1 teaspoon of coriander powder. Mix well and cook the spices until they are well blended with the tomatoes.
Toss the drained cauliflower florets into the spice mixture. Stir well to ensure the florets are completely coated with the spices.
Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and mix thoroughly. Cover the pan with a lid and allow the cauliflower to cook over low heat for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once the cauliflower is tender, turn off the heat and garnish the sabji with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh cilantro.
Finally, drizzle 1 tablespoon of lemon juice over the top before serving. This adds a fresh zing to the dish.
Serve hot as a side or enjoy it as a standalone meal.
