Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Heat 4 tbsp vegetable oil in a large heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tsp cumin seeds and 1 large pierced green chilli; fry until the cumin seeds turn deep golden brown and become fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
-
Step 2.
Turn the heat down to low. Add 1 large potato (peeled and cut into 2cm/¾ inch chunks) and cook gently for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potato starts to soften at the edges.
-
Step 3.
Add 1 large cauliflower (cut into florets), ¼ tsp ground turmeric, 1 tsp ground coriander, ¼ tsp English mustard paste, ⅛ tsp chilli powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tsp sugar. Stir well until the cauliflower is fully coated with the spices.
-
Step 4.
Cover the saucepan with a lid and cook gently for 15–20 minutes, adding a splash of water if the mixture seems dry and stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender and cooked through. Serve hot.
