Simple Cauliflower Bhaji 2


Ingredients:


Cauliflwer - 2 cups cut cauliflower - small flowers ( 1" - 1.5" size)
For oil tempering - peanut oil, black mustard seeds, turmeric
Chili powder - 1/4 tsp (or to your taste)
Cumin powder - 1 tsp
Brown sugar - 1 tsp
Salt to taste.
Chopped cilantro leaves - 2-3 Tbs
Freshly grated coconut - 3-4 Tbs

Recipe:


Heat pan and add 2 tsp peanut oil.
Prepare oil tempering.
Add cauliflower. Stir well.
Add  1/4 cup water + salt + brown sugar + chili powder + cumin powder. Mix well.
Keep heat on medium and let the cauliflower get cooked stirring occasionally.
It should not be mushy and all the water should be gone.
Sprinkle with cilantro and coconut.
Serve as a side dish with Indian bread, or rice

Notes:


1) Vegetables like cabbage and cauliflower have strong pungent smell which can be tamed by cumin.
2) I don't use hing powder or garlic as they both have  strong smells as well.
3) I don't use cover/lid when I cook tender cauliflower as it can get mushy.
