gobi masala [cauliflower curry]

All I do this winter is stay home and cook. But there are fruits to my boring nature. This is a kick ass vegetarian dish that the sundance kid turned me on to.

Ingredients
  • 1 cup of cauliflower florets
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 2 tomatos finely chopped
  • bunch of cilantro
  • 2 tbsp yogurt
  • Curry Powder: 1 tsp of chili powder + coriander powder + ½ tsp of turmeric + ½ tsp cumin powder.
  • Grind: 1 tsp poppy seeds + 2 tsp of cashews grind to a fine paste
  • Grind to a paste: 3 cloves of garlic + 2 green chilies + a small piece of ginger
  • Salt for taste
Method
Heat oil and add the chopped onions and sauté till golden brown.
Add ginger, garlic, green chili paste and sauté. Add the chopped tomatoes and sauté for 2 minutes. Add all the spice powders red chili powders, coriander powder, turmeric, cumin powder, salt and cook till the tomatoes absorbs the flavor.
Add the yogurt and sauté till the yogurt is well blended. Now add the cauliflower florets and sauté them well turning all sides to coat the masala and cook them covered for 2 minutes.
Add the cashew poppy seed paste and ½ cup of water. Cook them covered for 5-6 minutes.
Garnish with cilantro leaves and serve hot.
