Break the cauliflower into florets and rinse thoroughly under cold water. Using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they resemble the texture of small grains or couscous. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat coconut oil over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and mustard seeds to the oil. Once they start spluttering, reduce the heat slightly.
Add the finely chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the grated ginger, minced garlic, and chopped green chili, and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped tomato and cook for 2-3 minutes until soft.
Sprinkle in turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt, mixing well to coat the onions and tomatoes with the spices.
Add the processed cauliflower to the skillet. Mix thoroughly, ensuring the cauliflower is coated with the spice mixture.
Cover the skillet with a lid, allowing the subji to cook on low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The cauliflower should become tender but not mushy.
After cooking, remove the lid and increase the heat to medium, stirring continuously to evaporate any excess liquid. Cook for another 3-4 minutes.
Turn off the heat and stir in the lemon juice and chopped cilantro.
Serve the low carb classic potato subji hot, garnished with extra cilantro if desired. Enjoy with your choice of low-carb bread or as a side dish.
