Ingredients
- 3/4 cup cauliflower florets
- 1 small sized big onion finely chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
- salt to taste
TO TEMPER:
- 2 teaspoon oil
- 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
- a small sprig curry leaves
TO ROAST & GRIND:
- 1/4 inch piece cinamon
- 2 cloves
- 3/4 teaspoon pepper corns
- 1/2 teaspoon jeera
- 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
- 2 red chillies broken
Instructions
- Dry roast the ingredients listed under ‘to roast & grind’ till nice aroma rises…
- Cool down and grind it to a slightly coarse powder – I used my hand mortar and pestle to do this.
- Cut cauliflower into small florets soak it in slightly warm water for few mins, drain water and boil cauliflower along with turmeric powder and salt until it becomes soft.
- Drain water and add half of the roast & ground powder to cooked cauliflower and marinate it for 15mins.
- Heat oil in a pan – add the items listed under ‘to temper’ let it splutter then add garlic, onion and fry till it turns golden brown.
- Then add marinated cauliflower and saute for 2mins.
- Add remaining spice powder and saute for few mins until the cauliflower is nicely coated with the masala. Switch off.
- Serve Gobi Pepper Fry with hot rice and sambar or any kuzhambu of your choice.
Notes
- It is a must to cut the florets a bit small only then the masalas get blended well with the veggie.
- This is little spicy, so adjust red chillies according to your spice level.
- You can even grind the spice powder in bulk and use it whenever you want but freshly ground spices always gives great flavour.
- Usually for other veggies, if I am cooking them separate I reserve the cooked water and add it while making the curry. But for cauliflower, I drain them to get rid of worms and even the pesticides as cauliflower has those high risks.
