Cauliflower deserves better than cheese sauce.This is my favorite way to eat cauliflower.Once you have mastered the recipe you will make it often.It is just as good cold the next day;but I rarely have any left overs.
Ingredients
- 2 inch piece fresh ginger,peeled shopping list
- 6 tbs. vegetable oil shopping list
- 1/8 tsp.asafetida shopping list
- 1/8 tsp.whole cumin seeds shopping list
- 1/4-1/2 tsp.cayenne shopping list
- 4 tsp.ground coriander seeds shopping list
- 1 tsp.ground tumeric shopping list
- 2lb head cauliflower,cut into 1 inch flowerets shopping list
- 1 1/2 tsp.salt shopping list
- 1/2 tsp.garam masala shopping list
- 1 tsp.amchoor,or 2 tsp. lemon juice shopping list
How to make it
- Cut the ginger,crosswise,into very thin slices.Stack several slices over each other at a time,cut them into very thin strips and cut the strips crosswise into minute dice.
- Heat oil in a very large frying pan,wok,or other wide utensil over medium high heat.When hot put in the asafetida and a second later the cumin seeds.As soon as cumin sedds start to sizzle add put in the ginger.Stir the ginger for a few seconds until it starts to brown.Now put in the cayenne,coriander and tumeric.Stir once.(I usually remove pan from burner if necessary,if it is too hot,to prevent burning-during ginger & spices;placing back on in a minute)Stir once and quickly put in cauliflower and salt.Stir for one minute.Add 4 tbs. water and cover the pan immediately.
- Turn heat to low and cook 5-10 minutes,or until cauliflower is just done.(I find it takes longer) Stir once or twice during this period.Add a tablespoon more water if it dries out.
- When the cauliflower is done,remove lid.If there is any liquid left,dry it off by turning up the heat a bit.Sprinkle amchoor and garam masala over the top and stir to mix.
- Note:I have made this without the asafetida,it is just as yummy.
