Simple Cauliflower Curry


Description:
There are white, Orange and purple kinds of Cauliflower. Cauliflowers are low in fat and carbohydrates but rich in dietary fiber, folate etc. This is  a simple recipe that can be prepared with Cauliflower alone or  add any veggies of your choice together with the cauliflower.

Ingredients:
1. Cauliflower - 1(medium)
2. Potatoes - 2(small)
3. Frozen peas - 1/2cup
4. Onion - 1(medium)
5. Tomato- 1(medium)
6. Ginger
7. Garlic
8. Cinnamon stick - 1
9. Whole pepper  corns- 1tspn
10. Garam masala - 1/2tspn
11. Turmeric powder - a pinch
12. Chilli powder - 1tspn
13. Coriander powder -1 tspn
14. Oil
15. Salt to taste



Procedure:
Wash and cut the cauliflower into medium sized pieces. Cut potatoes into small cube shapes. Slice the onions and crush the ginger/garlice. Take a cooker and add some oil. Drop the cinnamon stick and pepper corns first. Next goes in the onions, saute them for sometime. Add the tomatoes and turmeric powder, chilli powder, coriander powder. Saute till the tomatoes gets mushy. Next goes in all the veggies, garam masala and salt. Add some water till the veggies submerge in the water. Close the lid and let it cook for 3 whistles.




Actually while I was making this dish I realised that somehow I have dropped in more chilli powder and the gravy became  hot(spicy). Perfect for me but since my little girl will be having the same curry so I added little coconut milk to reduce the hotness. Adding coconut milk not only gives a rich taste but also helped in reducing the hotness of the gravy. So after adding water to the veggies add some coconut milk too then cook for 3 whistles. Adding coconut milk is an optional step.





Once it cools down check for the gravy consistency and salt. If you want more gravy add some water and cook for few seconds and incase if  you want to make the curry bit more thick then cook for few minutes with lids removed. Enjoy.
