Good day everyone!!

Winter has set in many parts of India and one of the most common veggies  of this season is cauliflower and green peas.Today sharing a healthy version of cauliflower gravy/Sabji to go along side rice, rotis , puris etc. The healthy part is that to make this gravy I used only 1 tsp of oil. The taste was also very good .

Sabji Masala -1 tsp 

Water - As needed 

Coriander leaves - a small bunch 

Salt to taste 

Step by step process

Firstly chop cauliflower into big florets .Heat 1 cup water in a vessel and add cauliflower florets and peas (water should dissolve the florets and cook them).Add 1/2 tsp turmeric and 1/2 tsp salt. Close the lid and cook till the cauliflower is soft and cooked .It may take 5-8 minutes. Once the cauliflower is cooked keep it in another vessel.

Next blend onions,tomatoes,garlic cloves and ginger piece and some coriander leaves finely in a mixer jar.

Then in a non- stick pan add 1 tsp oil.Add  1 tsp cumin seeds .Once it crackles add grinded masala of onion and tomatoes.

Now add spices one by one like turmeric powder, coriander powder, chilli powder,Sabji Masala, little salt.
