Cauliflower dry curry

This curry is very simple but flavourful one. So next to gobi manchurian this is my favourite with cauliflower.

Serves 3

Ingredients:

• Cauliflower - 1 medium sized
• Onion - 1 big
• Chilly powder - 1 tsp
• Garam masala powder - a pinch (optional)
• Ginger garlic paste - 1 tsp
• Sambar powder - 1/2 tsp
• Coriander powder - 1/4 tsp
• Turmeric - a generous pinch
• Coriander leaves - 1 tbsp chopped
• Salt - to taste

To temper:

• Mustard seeds -1 tsp
• Cumin seeds(Jeera) - 1 tsp
• Oil - 2 tsp

Method:

1. Cut cauliflower florets into bite size pieces and boil it in water with salt and turmeric powder until soft but still firm enough.
2. Heat a pan with oil add mustard and cumin seeds, allow it to splutter.Add ginger garlic paste, onion and fry till transparent.
3. Now add red chilly powder, sambar powder,coriander powder, garam masala powder and salt to taste.
4. Add cauliflower at this stage, mix well with the gravy.Keeping in low flame sprinkle little water less than 1/4 cup and cook covered for 5 minutes in low flame.
5. Turn over in between to avoid burning. After 5mins the water must have dried up. Mix once, Garnish with coriander leaves and switch off.

My Notes:

• You can add tomatoes while frying onions, though I didnt add it.
• Garam masala powder is purely optional, but I like the flavour so added it :)

This is a simple curry which goes well with sambar and curd rice.
