Kashmiri Gobhi

Mom made this yummy cauliflower dish this evening. Although she learned this dish from a neighbor in Delhi, as most recipes mom adopts as her own, the final result is a much tastier than the original. This is not the weak anemic cauliflower you get in Indian restarants. This is a healthy low-fat, low-carb, and super tasty vegetarian side dish that's also easy to make. The bright yellow color makes it a pretty addition to any plate, especially one with warm parathas and cold raitha.


Ingredients:

One head cauliflower, broken into small pieces

2-3 green chilis (start with 1 if you're not sure of your spice level)

1 inch piece of ginger sliced thinly

1 tbs cumin

1-2 tsp salt (depending on your taste)

1/2 tsp turmeric

1/2 tsp garam masala

2 tbs oil

1/4 cup cilantro for garnish


Heat oil on medium in a large sautee pan or wok. Add cumin, ginger, green chilis and sautee until fragrant and cumin seeds are toasted. Add cauliflower, salt, turmeric and stir until combined. Turn heat to low and finish cooking until cauliflower is fork tender, about 7-10 minutes. Add garam masala and cilantro to garnish.
