Cookd masalas for cauliflower
Method
Cut the cauliflower into medium florets. Wash them well in warm water and drain. Chop the onion, tomato, ginger, garlic, green chilli and coriander leaves.
Heat the oil in a wide kadai on medium flame. Add the cumin and fry for 30 seconds until it sizzles. Add the onion, ginger, garlic and green chilli, and fry for 5 minutes until the onion is golden.
Add the tomato, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, coriander powder and salt. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the tomato turns soft.
Add the cauliflower and green peas, and mix gently to coat them with the masala. Sprinkle the water, cover and cook on low flame for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the cauliflower is tender but still holds its shape.
Open the lid and add the garam masala. Cook on medium flame for 2 to 3 minutes until the moisture dries and the florets brown a little at the edges.
Turn off the flame and mix in the coriander leaves. Serve hot with roti or paratha, or with dal and rice.
