Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 15

250 grams cauliflower florets ((2 heaped cups))
2 tablespoon oil
¼ teaspoon mustard seeds ((optional))
½ teaspoon cumin seeds
1 sprig curry leaves (or bay leaf (optional))
1¼ cup onions (chopped finely (2 medium))
1 green chili (slit or chopped (optional))
1 tablespoon ginger garlic chopped finely (or 1 tsp paste )
¾ to 1 cup tomatoes (- pureed or fine chopped (2 medium))
¾ to 1 teaspoon salt ((adjust to taste))
¼ teaspoon turmeric ((or haldi))
½ to ¾ teaspoon red chilli powder ((I used 1 tsp kashmiri chilli powder))
1 teaspoon garam masala (or curry powder (I used 1½ tsp))
½ teaspoon coriander powder ((optional))
¾ to 1 cup water (or coconut milk (I used 1¼ cup))

Steps:

  • Clean cauliflower and chop the florets to desired sizes. Optional - heat 3 cups water in a large bowl, add cauliflower florets to the slightly hot water. Leave it for some time. Rinse them under running water and drain them.
  • Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard and cumin. When they begin to sizzle add the curry leaves and fry for 30 seconds.
  • Add onions and green chilli. Saute until pink or golden.
  • Stir in ginger garlic and saute till a nice aroma comes out for about 30 to 60 seconds.
  • Then add tomatoes and salt. Saute until the tomatoes turn soft and mushy.
  • Add turmeric, red chilli powder, garam masala and coriander powder. Saute for 30 to 60 seconds until the masala smells aromatic.
  • Then add cauliflower florets and saute for 1 to 2 mins.
  • Pour ½ to 1 cup water or coconut milk and give a good mix. I used 1 cup water at this step. Young cauliflower releases lots of moisture, so be careful not to add a lot of water at one time.
  • Cover and cook until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
  • If needed add more water or coconut milk to bring the curry to a desired consistency. I added half cup coconut milk at this stage.
  • Taste the curry and add more salt if needed. Garnish cauliflower curry with coriander leaves.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and tender zucchini and cauliflower. This will ensure the best flavor and texture in your curry.
  • Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the vegetables. This will prevent them from steaming instead of sautéing.
  • Use a good quality curry powder. This is the key to a flavorful curry. Look for a curry powder that contains a variety of spices, such as turmeric, cumin, coriander, and chili powder.
  • Add coconut milk to the curry for a creamy and rich flavor. You can also use yogurt or heavy cream.
  • Season the curry to taste with salt and pepper. You may also want to add a bit of sugar to balance out the flavors.
  • Serve the curry with rice, naan, or your favorite side dish.
