Procedure:

Part 1: The Cauliflower.

The cauliflower is an ecosystem in itself. It has worms, bits and pieces of different vegetation growing on it. So it becomes imperative to clean it thoroughly.

Cut out the florets from the cauliflower.

Boil water in a pan, with salt. Toss in the florets into them, and make sure it stays there for at least 10 minutes. Once done, take out the water, rinse florets thoroughly and cut out any back/ green parts on the floret. After this, give it another thorough rinse.


Part 2: The rest of the curry

1. Heat oil in a pan with oil and cumin seeds and hing.
2. Once the cumin seeds begin to cackle add the finely chopped onions and fry till translucent.
3. Put the finely chopped tomatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes.
4. Add the potatoes and cauliflower florets. Add some water and let it cook for 5 minutes.
5. Add Haldi (turmeric), Chilly powder, Aamchur or Tamarind water, salt and garam masala with enough water to cover the vegetables.
6. Cook in low flame till all the water evaporates.
7. To garnish you can sprinkle some finely chopped coriander.
