Ingredients

• 1 medium head Cauliflower
• 2 medium Potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
• 3 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Wash the cauliflower head and chop it into small florets. Peel and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, add cumin seeds and sauté for 30 seconds until aromatic.

Step 4

Add the chopped potatoes and stir-fry for 5 minutes until they start to soften slightly.

Step 5

Add the cauliflower florets to the pan and stir well to combine with the potatoes.

Step 6

Sprinkle turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt over the vegetables. Stir to coat the cauliflower and potatoes evenly with the spices.

Step 7

Add 3 tablespoons of water to the skillet, cover with a lid, and let it cook for 10-12 minutes on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Once the vegetables are tender, remove the lid and stir in the garam masala. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot as a side dish with rice, roti, or as part of a larger meal.
