Ingredients

• 1 head Cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 large, finely chopped Onion
• 3 cloves, minced Garlic
• 1 inch piece, grated Ginger
• 1 medium, chopped Tomato
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Begin by chopping the cauliflower into small florets and rinse thoroughly. Set aside.

Step 2

Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Once the oil is hot, add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Allow them to sizzle and pop for about 30 seconds to release their flavors.

Step 4

Add the finely chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until soft and golden brown, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the chopped tomato to the skillet and cook until it breaks down and becomes mushy, about 3 minutes.

Step 7

Sprinkle the turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt over the tomato mixture and stir to combine.

Step 8

Add the cauliflower florets to the skillet, tossing them gently to coat with the spices and tomato mixture.

Step 9

Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cauliflower cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender but not mushy.

Step 10

Garnish the cauliflower subji with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.

Step 11

Serve hot as a side dish or pair it with compliant Whole30 cauliflower rice or lettuce wraps for a complete meal.
