Ingredients

• 1 medium head Cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons Ghee
• 1 Green chili, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 medium Tomato, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Begin by cutting the cauliflower into evenly sized florets. Place them in a steamer basket and steam over boiling water for about 6-8 minutes until the cauliflower is tender.

Step 2

Drain any excess water and transfer the steamed cauliflower to a large mixing bowl. Use a fork or potato masher to mash the cauliflower to a consistency of your preference.

Step 3

Heat the ghee in a large pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and allow them to sizzle for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the chopped green chili, grated ginger, and minced garlic to the pan. Sauté for about 1 minute, stirring frequently, until the garlic is golden and aromatic.

Step 5

Stir in the turmeric powder, mix well and immediately add the chopped tomato. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the tomato softens and becomes part of the mixture.

Step 6

Add the mashed cauliflower, ensuring it combines well with the spices and tomato. Sprinkle in the salt, and mix everything thoroughly.

Step 7

Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Turn off the heat and drizzle in the lemon juice, stirring it into the mixture. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.

Step 10

Serve the Low Carb Aloo Chokha warm, as a side dish or with your favorite low-carb bread alternative.
