Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 1 medium, diced Tomato
- 3 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1 inch piece, grated Ginger
- 1 finely chopped Green chili
- 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Garam masala
- 0.75 teaspoon, or to taste Salt
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Cilantro leaves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower. Cut the cauliflower into small florets and rinse under cold water. Drain and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onions to the skillet and sauté for about 4-5 minutes, until they become translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped green chili. Cook for another 2 minutes until they release their aromas.
Add the diced tomato to the skillet and cook until the tomato softens, approximately 3-4 minutes.
Mix in the turmeric powder, coriander powder, and cumin powder. Stir well to combine the spices with the vegetables.
Add the cauliflower florets to the skillet and stir to coat them with the spice mixture.
Season with salt and cover the skillet with a lid. Reduce the heat to low and cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
Once the cauliflower is cooked through, sprinkle the garam masala over the top and stir well.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the bhaji with chopped cilantro leaves.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the bhaji before serving to enhance the flavors.
Serve the Keto Cauliflower Bhaji warm as a side dish or pair it with a keto-friendly flatbread for a complete meal.
