Ingredients

  • Cauliflower – 1

  • Big Onion – 1 (Chopped finely)

  • Tomato Big – 1 (chopped finely)

  • Ginger garlic paste – 1 teaspoon

  • Khus Khus (poppy seeds) – 1 teaspoon

  • Cashew Nuts – 20

  • Red Chilli Powder – 1 teaspoon

  • Coriander Powder – 2 teaspoons

  • Jeera Powder – 1 teaspoon

  • Garam Masala powder – 1 teaspoon

  • Turmeric powder – ½ teaspoon

  • Curd – ½ cup

  • Salt – 1 teaspoon

  • Oil – 4 tablespoons

  • Few curry leaves / coriander leaves for garnishing.

Directions

  • First, prepare the cauliflower by cutting it into small florets. In a mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower with yogurt, jeera (cumin) powder, 1/2 teaspoon of red chili powder, 1 teaspoon of coriander powder, masala powder, turmeric powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Stir until the florets are well coated with the spices and yogurt. Set this aside to marinate.
  • Next, finely chop the onion, tomato, ginger, and garlic.
  • Make a smooth paste of cashew nuts and khus khus (poppy seeds) by blending them with a little water. Set this paste aside.
  • Now, heat oil in a kadai over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onions and fry them until they turn a light golden brown. Add the ginger-garlic paste and continue to fry for a few more minutes.
  • Then, add the chopped tomatoes and cook them until they become soft and mushy. Stir in the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of red chili powder, 1 teaspoon of coriander powder, and another 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
  • It’s time to add the marinated cauliflower florets to the kadai. Mix thoroughly to ensure the florets are coated with the tomato mixture. Cover the kadai with a lid and allow the cauliflower to cook for about 10 minutes.
  • After the cauliflower has partially cooked, add the cashew and khus khus paste to the kadai. Stir well and continue to cook until the cauliflower is completely done and the sauce thickens.
  • Finish the dish by garnishing it with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
  • Serve the flavorful cauliflower dish hot with rice or your choice of Indian bread. Enjoy!

  6. Hi Kamalama,
    I prepared this y’day,..I faced one problem..the cauliflower was not cooked properly in around 10 mins so i let it cook for some more time..and it became quite sour..what should i do to avoid this..can i cook the cauliflower first and then marinate it.?

    • The reason for not cooking the cauliflower, may be the marination is too dry. You can add little water and cook. But do not marinate after cooking. Sourness may be due to curd is too sour or excess in quantity.

  7. This recipe was super easy, delicious and super quick to make! Thank you so much <3
