Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 2 medium Potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 3 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Wash the cauliflower head and chop it into small florets. Peel and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add cumin seeds and sauté for 30 seconds until aromatic.
Add the chopped potatoes and stir-fry for 5 minutes until they start to soften slightly.
Add the cauliflower florets to the pan and stir well to combine with the potatoes.
Sprinkle turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt over the vegetables. Stir to coat the cauliflower and potatoes evenly with the spices.
Add 3 tablespoons of water to the skillet, cover with a lid, and let it cook for 10-12 minutes on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the vegetables are tender, remove the lid and stir in the garam masala. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve hot as a side dish with rice, roti, or as part of a larger meal.
