Cauliflower-batata Bhaji


Cauliflower has a peculiar smell. To subside the pungent odor I use ginger garlic paste for this particular vegetable.Fresh cauliflower is white and the florets are dense and tight. I usually separate the florets and dip them in the water with a tsp of salt and turmeric powder. You will get more info on cauliflower here http://www.samcooks.com/food/vegetables/Cauliflower.htm

Ingredients
250 gms cauliflower
1 potato( diced)

Tempering
2 tsp oil
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 medium size onion(chopped)
2 tsp ginger garlic chili paste
1/2 tsp turmeric powder

Garnishing
Chopped coriander leaves

Method
  • Heat oil in a pan.Add mustard seeds.As they sizzle add chopped onion. saute a little and add garlic-ginger-chili paste. fry it for a while till onion becomes golden brown.
  • Add diced potatoes. Add soaked florets of cauliflower. Sprinkle turmeric powder over it.
  • Sprinkle some water. mix well. Cover the pan. Pour water on the lid.
  • Let it cook on low flame for 10-15 minutes.
  • After the vegetables are cooked add salt as per taste.
  • garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
Note
Green peas instead of potatoes also  taste good. The care is to be taken that the vegetable doesn't get overcooked. The florets should remain intact .
