Ingredients

• 1 medium head Cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 medium, diced Tomato
• 1 small, finely chopped Green chili
• 1 teaspoon, grated Ginger
• 2 cloves, minced Garlic
• 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional for garnish) Fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Wash and cut the cauliflower into small florets, then pat it dry with a kitchen towel.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds or until aromatic.

Step 4

Stir in the grated ginger and minced garlic, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the diced tomato and green chili to the skillet, then cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring, until the tomato softens.

Step 6

Sprinkle in the turmeric powder, ground coriander, red chili powder, and garam masala. Stir well to combine with the tomato mixture.

Step 7

Add the cauliflower florets to the skillet and toss them in the spice mixture to coat evenly.

Step 8

Season with salt and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow the cauliflower to cook for 10 to 12 minutes on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until tender but not mushy.

Step 9

Uncover and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes to let the excess moisture evaporate.
