Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Cauliflower florets
- 2 medium Tomatoes
- 1 medium Onion
- 1 inch Ginger
- 3 units Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 100 ml Water
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro leaves
Instructions
Begin by finely chopping the onion, tomatoes, and cilantro leaves. Mince the ginger and garlic cloves.
In a blender, combine the chopped tomatoes, ginger, and garlic to form a smooth paste. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and sauté until they start to crackle.
Add the chopped onion to the pan and cook until they turn golden brown.
Pour in the tomato paste and stir well, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens.
Add the ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, garam masala, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well, allowing the spices to blend with the paste for another 2 minutes.
Introduce the cauliflower florets to the pan, stirring to coat them evenly with the spice mixture.
Add 100ml of water to help cook the cauliflower and cover the pan with a lid. Allow it to simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.
Once the cauliflower is cooked through, remove the lid and let any excess liquid evaporate, stirring occasionally.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro leaves before serving.
Enjoy your Keto Chana Masala warm, on its own or with keto-friendly flatbread.
