📝 Instructions

13 steps

1. Cut the cauliflower into small florets. Peel and cut the potatoes into bite-sized cubes.

2. Finely chop the onion. Purée the tomatoes, ginger, and garlic into a smooth paste using a blender.

3. Slit the green chili lengthwise and keep it aside.

4. Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter for a few seconds.

5. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it turns golden brown.

6. Add the tomato-ginger-garlic paste and cook for about 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oil begins to separate.

7. Stir in the turmeric powder, coriander powder, and the slit green chili. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.

8. Add the potato cubes, mix well to coat them with the spices, and cook for 5 minutes.

9. Add the cauliflower florets and mix thoroughly.

10. Pour in the water, cover the pan, and let it cook on low-medium heat for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes and cauliflower are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking, and add more water if necessary.

13. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro leaves before serving.
