Cookd masalas for cauliflower
Method
Cut the cauliflower into florets. Soak them in 1 cup of water along with ¼ of salt and ¼ tsp of turmeric powder. This is to clean the cauliflower properly. Let this sit for at least 10 minutes, and then discard the water.
For the masala paste, heat oil and add all the spices and the cashew nut. Cook on low flame for 3 minutes, or until the spices are aromatic.
Transfer to a blender jar and add two roughly cut tomatoes. Blend.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil and add carrot, beans and cauliflower. Saute for 4 minutes.
Add chopped capsicum and green peas, and saute for 2 more minutes.
Remove the vegetables from the oil.
In the same pan, add 2 tbsp more of oil. Then add whole red chillies and chopped onion and saute until golden brown.
Once the onion turns golden brown, add ginger garlic paste and all the spice powders. Cook for 1 minute. Add the masala paste and cook for 5 minutes on high flame, stirring continuously.
Add the cooked vegetables, add the water. Once it comes to a boil, turn the flame to low, cover with a lid and cook for 5 minutes.
Serve hot with rice, roti or any Indian bread.
