Jeera Gobi / Cauliflower with cumin



There is always jeera aloo to fall back to whenever you need a curry in hurry right?!
Well here I just substituted the aloo or potato with cauliflower and made it in my style of jeera aloo! :)

I love cauliflower and its when I make dishes like these, I cannot stop munching continuously! Tho its a curry and I love eating it with rice, I can just wipe out a whole bowl of it in few minutes and if no one is watching maybe the whole curry! :)

Its a very easy dish to make and I hadn't realized that it would also come under the 'cooking with 5 ingredients or less' theme when you consider the basic tempering ingredients, oil and salt as one ingredient!

This probably is not the regular way of making jeera gobi or jeera aloo for that matter but we do love it this way and since the main ingredients in this dish are jeera and gobi, I called it jeera gobi! :)

Ingredients:

1 head of cauliflower, broken into small florets, washed (frozen cauliflower florets can also be used instead)

1 small onion chopped or 1/2 of big onion

1/2 tbsp ginger garlic paste

Tempering:

1 tsp jeera or cumin seeds
1/2 tbsp oil
pinch of turmeric
1/2 to 1 tsp chili powder
Salt to taste

Chopped coriander leaves for garnish


Method:

Wash the cauliflower florets and keep aside.

Heat oil in a pan.

Add the cumin seeds and let them splutter.

Saute onions till translucent and add ginger garlic paste.

Add the florets and saute them well with the cumin seeds mixture. Add salt.

When the florets are half cooked, add the turmeric, chili powder and mix well.

Cover and let cook until done. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves.

Serve with rice or rotis.

Enjoy!!!

  15. This is such a delicious looking dish. I noticed that you did not use tomatoes or lemon in your dish. I must try your version. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

  16. Cauliflower is perfectly done, not too mushy & not too soft.. I like it a little crunchy, just like you made it.
