Ingredients
1 Cauliflower (Medium size)
2 Tomato
1 Onion
1 teaspoon Sambar powder (heaped)
a pinch of Turmeric powder
1 tablespoon Oil
1/2 teaspoon Mustard
1 teaspoon Urad Dal
1/2 teaspoon Jeeragam (Cumin)
2 pinch Asafoetida powder
few Curry Leaves
1/2 teaspoon Salt
Directions
- Begin by cutting the cauliflower into florets. Boil these florets in water for five minutes, then drain and set aside.
- Finely chop the onion and tomato.
- Heat oil in a kadai over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add mustard seeds and wait for them to pop. Then, add urad dal and cumin seeds, frying until the dal turns a light golden brown.
- Introduce the chopped onion, curry leaves, and a pinch of asafoetida powder to the kadai. Sauté until the onions are well browned.
- Next, add the tomato pieces along with a pinch of salt. Continue frying until the tomatoes are thoroughly mashed and integrated.
- Stir in the sambar powder, turmeric powder, and additional salt to taste. Mix everything well.
- Pour in a little water to help combine the spices and vegetables. Add the pre-cooked cauliflower florets to the kadai, mixing well to ensure they are evenly coated with the spice mixture. If necessary, add a bit more water to prevent sticking.
- Cover the kadai with a lid, reduce the flame to low, and let the mixture cook, stirring occasionally, until it reaches a dry consistency.
- Your cauliflower dish is now ready to enjoy.
