Ingredients

3 tablespoon Mustard Oil
1 teaspoon Cumin Seeds jeera
1 pinch Asafoetida hing (optional)
2 Dry Red Chillies
1 inch Ginger cut into thin juliennes
2 Green Chillies slit lengthwise
2 large Tomatoes sliced
2 large Tomatoes roughly pureed
½ teaspoon Turmeric haldi
1 teaspoon Kashmiri Red Chilli powder kashmiri lal mirch
2 ½ teaspoon Coriander Powder dhaniya powder
350 grams Cauliflower cut into florets (approx 3 cups cauliflower florets)
2 medium Potatoes peeled and cut lengthwise
1 teaspoon Salt
Fresh coriander chopped for garnish

Instructions

Place the cauliflower florets in a bowl and pour hot water on them. Set them aside for 8-10 minutes.
Heat 3 tablespoons of Mustard Oil in a skillet or kadhai. Shallow fry the Gobi (cauliflower) and Aloo (potatoes) for 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, use a skimmer to remove them from the kadai and set them aside.
In the same kadai, add the Jeera (Cumin Seeds) to the remaining oil and let them splutter. Add whole Red Chillies, Hing (Asafoetida), Ginger, and Green Chillies. Stir-fry for a minute on low flame.
Add the Tomato Puree, Coriander Powder, Turmeric Powder, Chilli Powder and Salt. Mix well, cover, and cook for 5 minutes on medium-high flame.
Now, add the shallow-fried Gobi and Aloo along with sliced Tomatoes. Mix everything well. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes on low flame or until the Gobi is tender. Stir 2-3 times in between.
Finally, add freshly chopped Coriander and mix on high heat for 1-2 minutes. Turn off the heat and serve hot!
