Hari Gobhi (Green Cauliflower)

This dish can turn around cauliflower haters! I made this for M who has an aversion to all veggies except eggplant....It takes a lot of creativity on my part to push other veggies down his throat :-).

Here's the recipe

Ingredients
1 medium cauliflower
1 Tbsp oil
1 tsp Jeera
Juice of 1/2 a lemon/ lime
Salt to taste

Dry Masala
1/2 - 1 tsp Garam Masala (optional)
1/2 - 1 tsp jeera powder ( Cumin Seed Powder)
1/2 - 1 tsp Dhania powder ( Coriander Seed Powder)
1/2 tsp turmeric powder

Wet Green Masala
Bunch of coriander leaves
~1 inch piece of ginger
1 Green chilli

Method
Wash & break the cauliflower into seperate florets. Pulse this through a food processor till the cauliflower is finely chopped.

Grind the coriander leaves, ginger and chilli coarsly in a blender or a food processer to prepare the green masala.

Heat the oil in a pan. Add the cumin seeds and roast it for about 10 - 15 seconds. Add the chopped cauliflower to the pan and roast for about 2 mins. Add the dry masala and mix well. Cover the pan and cook the cauliflower until tender-crisp. Add the wet masala, lemon juice and salt to taste & mix well.

Continue to cook for 2 more minutes.

Serve with Roti or Naan and Dal.

Hari Gobhi can also be used as a stuffing for Parathas or Sandwiches (Look for the recipe in my next write-up)
