Ingredients

• 1 medium head Cauliflower (cut into small florets)
• 3 medium Potatoes (peeled and diced)
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
• 2 medium Tomatoes (diced)
• 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 2 teaspoons Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the cauliflower and cut it into small florets. Peel and dice the potatoes into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat.

Step 3

Add cumin seeds to the hot oil and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds until aromatic.

Step 4

Stir in the chopped onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until it becomes golden brown.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the diced tomatoes to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and release their juices.

Step 7

Mix in the turmeric powder, ground coriander, ground cumin, cayenne pepper (if using), and salt. Stir well to coat the onion and tomato mixture in the spices.

Step 8

Add the potatoes to the pan, mixing to coat them in the spice mixture.

Step 9

Stir in the cauliflower florets, ensuring they are evenly coated with the spices.

Step 10

Pour in the water, cover the pan with a lid, and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes and cauliflower are tender.

Step 11

Uncover the pan and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow any excess moisture to evaporate, if needed.

Step 12

Taste and adjust salt, if necessary. Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.

Step 13

Serve hot as a side dish with rice, flatbread, or your favorite Indian meal.
