Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Cauliflower florets
- 200 grams Fresh fenugreek leaves (methi)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 2 chilies Green chilies, chopped
Instructions
Wash the cauliflower florets and drain well.
Rinse the fenugreek leaves thoroughly to remove any soil, then chop them coarsely.
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add the cumin seeds and allow them to crackle for a few seconds.
Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and chopped green chilies. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the raw aroma disappears.
Add the cauliflower florets and stir-fry for about 5 minutes until they begin to slightly brown.
Add the chopped fenugreek leaves, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix well.
Cover the pan and cook on a low flame for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender and the fenugreek leaves are well-cooked.
Uncover the pan and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing any excess moisture to evaporate.
Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary. Once done, remove from heat.
Serve hot with a side of yogurt or a salad for a complete low-carb meal.
