Its been almost 8 months since I made something special, or I would say I rather had no time to enter my kitchen since my little Prince came to our house. And now its time to step in!
All this while I have been preparing gobi manchurian only.
This time decided to prepare more varieties with Gobi. Since my mom is with me here, we will definitely have gobi atleast once a week as Gobi is her favorite veggie and she loves with anything and everything.
Sundar will also be home soon, and he is expecting something for chapathi today!
Cauliflower – 1 medium, cut to bite size florets
Potatoes – 2 large, cut to bite size pieces
Frozen Green Peas – 1 cup
Oil – 2 Tbsp
Cumin Seeds – 1/2 tsp
Asofoetida – pinch
Turmeric Powder – 1/2 tsp
Onion – 1 medium, finely chopped
Ginger – 1 inch piece, minced
Garlic – 5 cloves, minced
Tomatoes – 2 large, chopped
Coriander Powder – 2 tsp
Cumin Powder – 1 tsp
Garam Masala – 1 tsp
Red Chili Powder – to taste
Dry Mango Powder (Amchur) – 1/2 tsp
Salt – to taste
Cilantro – 5 sprigs, chopped for garnishing
Heat Oil in a pan. Add Cumin Seeds and allow them to sizzle.
Add Asofoetida, Turmeric Powder and Onions — mix well and sautee for 3-4 minutes. Now add Ginger and Garlic — mix and sautee until Oil starts to separate from the onions (stir frequently).
Add the Tomatoes-mix and cook until Oil again separates from the mixture (stir frequently). While tomatoes are cooking, cook Potatoes either in cooker or in a microwave, sprinkle a little salt. To cook in microwave add 1/4 cup water and microwave for approx 3-5 minutes (they should be 1/2 cooked).
Place washed Cauliflower florets in a microwave and cook for approx 3-5 minutes (it should be 1/2 cooked). Lightly Salt the Cauliflower while it is still warm. I always prefer to cook cauliflower on stovetop.
Once Oil has separated from the tomato mixture, add Coriander Powder, Garam Masala, Red Chili Powder, Cumin Powder, Dry Mango Powder and Salt — mix well. Now add the half-cooked Potatoes, mix well to coat all potatoes, cover and cook for 5 minutes (or until the potatoes are tender but not breaking apart).
Add Green Peas and half-cooked Cauliflower and mix well to evenly coat the cauliflower — cover and cook until all veggies are tender but not mushy and falling apart.
Garnish with chopped Cilantro Leaves and serve with Chapatti or Rice.
I always like a tinge of lemon while garnishing, it is optional. So I add them only for myself. But sundar doesnot perfer for everything.
