First step is to cut and clean cauliflower in small florets and clean thoroughly in running water. Next soak the florets in warm water with a tsp of salt for 10-15 minutes.
1 Cauliflower(Medium)
Meanwhile, peel potatoes and cut in cubes, soak frozen peas in water. Finely Chop Onion.
2 Potatoes( Medium), 1/2 Cup Peas(Fresh Frozen)
Make coarse paste of ginger garlic and green chilli. Use chilli as per your heat tolerance.
1 Onion(Small), 4-5 Garlic Cloves, Ginger Piece Small, 1-2 Green Chillies
In a kadhai or heavy bottomed pan, add oil, when oil is hot add cumin seeds and asafeotida (optional). When seeds crackle, add ginger garlic green chilli paste and saute for 1-2 minutes.
1 tsp Cumin Seeds/Jeera, 2 tbsp Oil, 1/4 tsp Asafeotida(optional)
Add onion and saute till light pink then add and mix dry spice powders and salt. Mix well.
1-2 tsp Coriander Powder, 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder, ½-1 tsp Red Chilli Powder, Salt to taste
Add peas, add ¼ cup water and let the peas cook for a while. You can cover with lid. If using frozen peas, add very less water, just enough to cook peas.
Drain water from cauliflower, add to the peas along with cubed potatoes. Mix well and add very little water less than ¼ cup, cover the pan with lid and cook on low flame for till cauliflower starts to look soft and tender.
Check for doneness of the vegetables with fork. It should roughly take 10-12 minutes. Don't overcook cauliflower, as I like slight crunch in it.
When the vegetable is cooked, crush dried fenugreek leaves and garam masala with hands and add to the vegetable. Cover the vegetables and cook ot for another 1-2 mins.
1 tsp Fenugreek Leaves (optional), 1-2 tsp Garam Maslaa Powder
Swiich off the flame. let it sit for few more minutes.
Serve it hot, garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
Fresh Cilantro leaves
