One of the hardest parts of parenting is to get kids to eat their vegetables. I often do this by hiding in a soup or sauce for pasta. Sometimes, a recipe for vegetables and they love just one click. This recipe for cauliflower India is one of those recipes. It can be eaten as an accompaniment or a main meal.
Growing up in the U.S., cauliflower is one of those vehicles that simply would not eat. In the UK, however, children are raised to love one of the UK firm, handed out "cauliflower with cheese." This is very similar to macaroni and cheese, but with cauliflower instead of pasta.
As I live in the UK, my children were very excited to India cauliflower recipe a try.
I began experimenting with a similar recipe during a vacation in Italy. The Italians have a shallow dish that is fried in the same way, but use olive oil, garlic and anchovies few. I liked it so much I decided to see if the Indians had a similar dish.
They do! In fact, I have seen recipes like this recipe for cauliflower in some Indian cookbooks India.
This is an easy recipe. You can fry in an hour or two portions and then just reheated without losing flavor.
So let's begin.
Makes 4 servings
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
INGREDIENTS
A large head of cauliflower cut into inch cubes
1 / 4 cup vegetable oil - more or less a bit - this is not rocket science
1 tablespoon black mustard seeds
10 fresh curry leaves (optional)
1 tablespoon fennel seeds
3 cloves of crushed garlic and finely chopped
1 / 2 teaspoon turmeric
A pinch of red chile powder
1 tablespoon salt
Pour oil in a skillet over medium heat. Throw in the mustard seeds, curry leaves and fennel seeds. Mustard seeds begin to pop.
When they do, add the cauliflower and moves everything in the pan for a few minutes.
Now add the garlic and fry for a couple of minutes.
Cauliflower is beginning to cook through. You want the foils to be cooked through but still have some resistance. Some of the smaller pieces will be nice and crisp.
At the end of cooking, add the turmeric, chile powder and salt.
Did you notice how I said "a pinch of chile powder? Some people like hot things. Others do not eat things that are very spicy. In case of doubt, very little use.
