Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium head of cauliflower cut into florets
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 inch ginger grated
  • salt to taste
  • fresh cilantro for garnish
  • 1/2 lemon juice

Method
 

  1. In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add the cauliflower florets. Blanch for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender, then drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. Add the turmeric powder, garam masala, chili powder, and salt. Mix well to combine.
  5. Add the blanched cauliflower to the skillet and toss gently to coat with the spices and butter.
  6. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender but still firm.
  7. Remove from heat, drizzle with lemon juice, and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes

For a spicier version, increase the amount of chili powder.
