Ingredients

• 1 medium-sized head Cauliflower

• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0 to taste Salt
• 2 tablespoons Oil
• 1 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the cauliflower thoroughly and cut it into medium-sized florets. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds until they release their aroma.

Step 3

Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.

Step 4

Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the raw smell dissipates.

Step 5

Add the pureed tomatoes to the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oil separates from the mixture.

Step 6

Add turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well to combine the spices with the tomato-onion base.

Step 7

Add the cauliflower florets and stir to coat them well with the spice mixture.

Step 8

Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pan. Cook for 15-20 minutes until the cauliflower is tender.

Step 9

Add the green peas and garam masala. Stir well and cook for another 5 minutes.

Step 10

Check the seasoning and adjust the salt and spices as needed.

Step 11
