One Pot Potato and Cauliflower Curry
Ingredients
- 400g/14oz cauliflower 1 medium head cut into small florets
- 400g/14oz potatoes 2 -3 medium peeled, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
- 150g/5oz red onion 1 large cut into small dice
- 2 medium tomatoes small dice
- 2 green chiles sliced
- 1 tbsp ginger finely chopped
- 1 tbsp garlic finely chopped
- 5 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 2 tsp ground coriander
- 1.5 tsp red chili powder use only 1 tsp for medium heat
- 1/2 tsp garam masala
- 1.25 tsp salt more to taste
- 1/4 cup cilantro leaves chopped
Instructions
- Heat up a pot and add oil. When the oil is hot, add cumin seeds. In a few seconds, they’ll change color and you will smell them. Add finely chopped ginger and stir. Add finely chopped garlic and sliced green chiles. Stir and add chopped red onion and ¼ tsp salt. Sauté until golden. Add ground turmeric, ground coriander, red chili powder and garam masala. Stir and add chopped tomatoes and ¼ tsp salt. Cover and cook until tomatoes are soft. You can smash them a bit, it’s ready when the oil separates.
- Add peeled and cut up potatoes. Stir. Add 1 cup water and 3/4 tsp salt. Cover and cook for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, add the cauliflower. Mix, cover and cook until tender, less than 10 minutes. Stir once in a while.
- When the vegetables are almost cooked, add 3/4 of the chopped cilantro. Taste and adjust the salt if you need to. Finish cooking and insert a knife into the potatoes to make sure they’re tender. Add the remaining cilantro. All the liquid will have evaporated. The potatoes and cauliflower should be cooked but not falling apart. Serve with roti, chapathi or paratha and mixed pickle (link above).
- ***If you want to make this dish so the potatoes and cauliflower are a little crispy and have that golden brown color, first shallow fry the potatoes and cauliflower separately before adding them to the pot. It’s an extra step but worth it if you want a richer dish. You can also roast the potatoes and cauliflower in the oven instead of frying them. The recipe above is healthier and still delicious.
- *** Potatoes and cauliflower should be cut into approximately same size.
- ***Dish is spicy as written. Use only 1 tsp red chili powder if you want dish medium to mild.
- ***Mixed vegetable pickle is available at Indian stores - Deep brand in the link above should be around $7 or less (as of 6/22) depending on where you live. Beware of price gouging online.
