Level of difficulty: Easy

Another easy and quick recipe that many may already know. As with any Indian recipe, every family will have their own cooking method, and keeping tradition alive, I learnt this recipe from my mother.

Ingredients

Cauliflower florets -half a head

Potatoes (cubed) - 5

Roasted and ground cumin -2 tsp

Roasted and ground coriander - 2 tsp

Chili powder -1 tsp (to taste)

Turmeric - 1 tsp

Asafetida - 1/4 tsp 

Oil - 2 tbs

Crisco/Dalda- 1 tsp

Salt -to taste

A few sprigs of coriander/cilantro

Note: To reduce/increase the SPICINESS, decrease/increase the amount of chili powder.

Procedure

1. Add oil to a saucepan on medium heat. Add turmeric and asafetida to the oil.  If you are okay with using Crisco/Dalda, you may add that in this step.

2. Add cubed potatoes. Cover and let cook for a while till potatoes start to go soft and brown.

3. Add cauliflower florets, place cover back on and let cook. The florets do reduce in size somewhat as they cook.

4. After a few minutes, add the ground cumin, coriander, and chili powder. Stir and cover -turn the gas to low. Add salt last.

5. Tada!  Add chopped coriander/cilantro, and you are done!
