Cauliflower gravy recipe
Though I am not a fan of Cauliflower, I do like it in this recipe. And since I made it for my family, they have started liking it too. This is an added advantage as I keep looking out for easy gravies to prepare to go with Chapatis, Idlis etc. Here I have used just Cauliflower but you can add frozen peas or capsicum / Bell peppers. So now let's move to the recipe.
Ingredients :
- Cauliflower florets - 2 cups
- Coconut - 1/2 cup ( fresh or frozen)
- Cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp
- Ginger - 1/2 inch piece
- Roasted gram - 2 tbsps
- Green chillies - 2
- Garlic cloves - 2
- Coriander leaves - 1/4 cup
- Curry leaves - few
- Tamarind - small lemon sized
- Onion - 1, medium, chopped
- Oil - 2 tsp
- Salt - 1 tsp
- Water - 1 cup
- In a mixer, grind coconut, cumin seeds, ginger, roasted gram, green chillies, coriander and curry leaves and tamarind into a fine paste.
- In a cooking pot/ pressure cooker, heat the oil. Then add the chopped onions and fry until translucent.
- Then add the cauliflower florets and fry for a minute or two.
- Then add the ground paste and fry until the raw smell goes.
- Pour a cup of water into the pot and add in the salt. Let it come to a boil and then adjust the salt as per your taste. Do not add more water.
- Close the pot/ pressure cooker. Hear 1 whistle in the pressure cooker as the cauliflower cooks faster. If cooking in a pot, check after 10 minutes and switch off the flame when you find the cauliflower is cooked. Do not overcook as the cauliflower gets mushy. Even after switching off the flame, it cooks in the heat of the gravy.
- This cauliflower gravy goes well with Chapatis/ Idlis/ Naan etc. Since it's low in the amount of spices used, it will be loved by kids too.
