Cauliflower Subzi/ Sauteed Cauliflower


I learnt this recipe from my husband. One day I was very sick and I couldn't make anything for our dinner. He prepared this cauliflower subzi along with rasam rice and it was tasting very good. My husband is a good cook and he always says that this dish is his specialty ;-). I make this often as its our favorite subzi. Very simple dish but it tastes good for rotis, or even plain rice. 

Ingredients:

Caluliflower -1 cut into small florets
Onion - 1 medium size chopped medium size chunks
Oil - 2 tbsp
Salt - to taste 
Turmeric powder - 1 tsp
Red chilli powder - 1 tsp
Sambar powder - 1 tbsp or according to spice requirement
Musatard - 1 tsp
Urad Dhal - 1 tsp
Cumin Seeds - 1 tsp
Asafoetida - a pinch

Preparation:

Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds. when it splutters add urad dhal and jeera and asafoetida. When it turns brown add onion and saute well till it caramelizes.

Add cauliflower and saute for a min. Add turmeric, red chilli, sambar powder and mix well. Sprinkle water when ever necessary to cook the cauliflower. 

When it turns tender, add salt and keep frying till the water is well absorbed and the vegetable is well cooked. 

When it gets cooked remove from heat, garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with hot rotis. 



Take care and see you soon!

    How are you? This dish looks really like the one, which comes of from dear husband's hand when the wife is sick ...Jokes apart, I like it specially the use of sambar powder in Gobi, cant wait to try it out.
