 Cauliflower Sabji 







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 .

Turmeric - 2 tsp 

Chilli powder - 1 tsp 

Coriander powder - 2 tsp 

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.

Once the masala gets cooked add boiled cauliflower florets .Add salt to taste.Close the lid and cook for 5 more minutes. 

After 5 minutes the masala would mingle with cauliflower and look great.
