Gobi Masala

I tasted this dish for the first time at a friends place. She made this using cabbage. I made some minor changes to the recipe to suit the taste of my family. It goes really well with some roti, yogurt and pickle or with steamed rice and dal.

Ingredients:

1 small cauliflower
2 tbsp oil
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1 spring curry leaves
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 tsp ginger garlic paste
1/3 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp red chilli powder (adjust according to taste)
2 tsp coriander powder
1/3 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp garam masala powder
1 tomato, chopped
Salt to taste
Some coriander leaves, chopped

Directions:

Wash and cut cauliflower into small florets.
Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds. When they splutter, add cumin seeds and curry leaves. Sauté for a few seconds.
Add onions and sauté until translucent.
Put ginger garlic paste and cook until the raw smell is gone, around 30 seconds.
Lower the heat and put all the powdered spices and mix well. Sauté for another 30 seconds.
Increase the heat to medium. Add chopped tomato and salt to taste.
Cook until the tomatoes turn mushy and oil leaves the side of the pan.
Add cauliflower and mix well. Add 1/4 cup of water and bring it to a boil.
Cover and simmer until the cauliflower gets cooked, stirring once in a while in between.
Add chopped coriander and mix well.
Serve hot with some more chopped coriander on top.
