Instructions
- Break the cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Peel(if you prefer) and slice the potatoes into halved wedges or cubes so they are a similar size as the cauliflower. Finely dice the onion and chop the green chillies and deseed if needed.
- Heat the mustard oil in a wok or saute pan and allow to smoke for a few seconds, lower the temperature of the pan to the pot and once it's hot, add the cumin seeds.
- Once the cumin seeds sizzle, add the onions and green chillies and saute the onions till they soften and start to brown. Add the ginger and garlic and cook it starts to change color.
- Add the spices (turmeric, Kashmiri red chilli powder and ground coriander. Saute the spices briefly for30-60 seconds.
- Now add the potatoes and salt. Potatoes take longer to cook so we give them a head-start. Toss them gently with the aromatic spices, add a splash of water and bring the heat up. Cover, drop the heat and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. If they stick to the bottom of the pan, add in a small splash of water and mix well.
- Once the potatoes are halfway cooked, add the cauliflower and mix well to coat all the floret with e spice mix. Lower the heat and cook on medium to low heat with the lid on until the potatoes + cauliflower are cooked through and tender. To finish, add a pinch of chaat masala or garam masala and garnish with chopped cilantro. Best swerved with dal, roti or rice and green salad. Enjoy!
