Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons black mustard seeds (available at East Indian markets and some specialty foods shops) or yellow mustard seeds
2 teaspoons grated peeled fresh gingerroot
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 large head of cauliflower (about 1 3/4 to 2 pounds), cut into in small flowerets about 1 inch in diameter
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, or to taste
3 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander if desired

Steps:

  • In a large skillet heat the oil over moderate heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it cook the mustard seeds, covered, stirring occasionally, until the popping subsides. Add the gingerroot and the turmeric and cook the mixture, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the cauliflower, stirring to coat it with the oil, and 1/2 cup water and steam the mixture, covered, adding more water a few tablespoons at a time if it evaporates, for 6 to 10 minutes, or until the cauliflower is just tender. Season the cauliflower mixture with the lemon juice and salt and pepper and stir in the coriander.

PAN-ROASTED SPICED CAULIFLOWER WITH PEAS



Pan-Roasted Spiced Cauliflower With Peas image

This dish is inspired by a trip to Curry Hill, a neighborhood in New York dotted with stores selling saris, Indian restaurants, Pakistani cafes and hole-in-the-wall spice shops. When I got home from my shopping spree, a cauliflower was screaming for Indian spices, garlic and ginger. Better still, I knew I could knock together a pan-roasted meal in about 20 minutes.

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons ghee, clarified butter or vegetable oil
1 small cauliflower about 1 1/2 pounds, cored, in 1/2-inch slices
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon black mustard seeds
2 teaspoons grated fresh turmeric or 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 to 3 makrut lime leaves (optional)
1 (1-inch) piece of ginger, peeled and slivered or finely grated
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 serrano chiles, finely chopped, or to taste
1 pound fresh English peas, shucked about 1 cup or frozen peas, or 1/2 pound snow peas or sugar snap peas, trimmed
2 to 3 scallions, slivered
Cilantro sprigs, for garnish
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a large sauté pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Add the ghee or oil, and when it is hot, add the cauliflower. Stir until the cauliflower begins to color, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Continue stirring until the cauliflower is half-cooked, about 5 minutes, lowering the heat if necessary to keep it from browning too quickly.
  • Add the cumin, mustard seeds, turmeric and makrut lime leaves, if using. When they begin to sizzle, add the ginger, garlic and chilies. Stir well and add the peas, along with a sprinkle of salt. Cover to let the peas steam until tender, 2 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle with the slivered scallions and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons yellow mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
2 teaspoons grated peeled fresh ginger
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 shallots, finely chopped
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus 3 tablespoons for garnish
1 large head of cauliflower (about 1 3/4 to 2 pounds), cut into small florets
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • In a large skillet heat the oil over moderate heat until it is hot but not smoking and in it cook the mustard and cumin seeds 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Add the ginger, garlic, and shallots. Cook 2 minutes until soft.
  • Add salt, coriander, turmeric, cayenne, and cilantro. Cook 1 minute more.

  • Season the cauliflower mixture with salt and pepper. Serve garnished with the 3 tablespoons of chopped cilantro.

Tips:

- For the best flavor, use fresh cauliflower florets. If using frozen florets, thaw them completely before cooking. - To save time, you can use pre-packaged ginger-garlic paste instead of freshly grated ginger and garlic. - If you don't have mustard seeds, you can use cumin seeds or fennel seeds instead. - To make the dish vegan, use coconut oil instead of ghee. - Serve the cauliflower with steamed rice, roti, or paratha.
