Method
- Cut cauliflower into medium size florets. Par boil the pieces and strain excess water. I sometimes add some turmeric powder while I boil the cauliflowers. It gives a nice yellow color.
- Mix ingredients under marinade and add it to par boiled cauliflowers. Keep the marinated mixture in refrigerator for 2-3 hours.
- While the cauliflowers is soaking the flavors of the marinade, slice bell peppers and onions.
- Heat vegetable oil and add cumin seeds and let it crackle. Saute sliced onions and bell pepper. Make sure the pepper and onions are not thinly sliced.
- Once the peppers are just cooked (not mushy) add the marinated cauliflower. Mix gently and cook covered on medium heat. The marinade will loose water and its OK.
- Cook uncovered till vegetables are cooked. Add salt to taste. Garnish with chopped cilantro and enjoy with roti, rice or paratha !
