Ingredients

  • 1 lbs Cauliflower
  • 3 small potatoes
  • 1/3 cup oil
  • 1 tbsp ginger paste
  • 1 tbsp garlic paste
  • 1 small onion
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 tsp red chili powder or cayenne peper
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric
  • 1 medium tomato
  • 2-3 green chilies
  • 5-6 dried red chilies
  • 1/2 bunch cilantro for garnish

Instructions

Prepare vegetables

  • Cut cauliflower into florets. Keep the size pretty big because cauliflower softens quickly.
  • Peel and cube potatoes into one-and-a-half-inch cubes. Slightly smaller than florets. Wash your vegetables and drain all of the water.

Cook your vegetables

  • Heat oil in a pan and add chopped onions. Cook for about 5 minutes on medium-low heat.
  • Once onions are softened, add dried red chilies, ginger, garlic, and spices.
  • Cook for another 2 minutes, and add sliced tomatoes. Mix everything, cover, and cook on low heat until tomatoes are softened.
  • Add a splash of water to prevent the masala from burning if you need to. Break down the tomatoes with a wooden spoon to make the masala.
  • Once your masala is ready, add cauliflower and potatoes in it and mix well.
  • Cover and cook on high for 2-3 minutes, then lower the heat and cook for another 20 minutes or until potatoes are softened.
  • Stir vegetables every 5 minutes to keep the masala from burning.
  • Garnish with cilantro and green chilies.

Notes

Note:
  1. It is important to cut potatoes slightly smaller than cauliflower because cauliflower florets softens quickly but potatoes take more time to soften.
  2. Adjust the spice level to your likings.
