- 1 teaspoon avocado oil (or any oil or choice)
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 onion (finely chopped)
- 1 heaping tbsp ginger garlic paste
- 2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon cayenne (use more or less according to your preference for heat).
- 1 teaspoon garam masala (taste the sabzi once it's cooked and add more if needed at the time)
- ½ teaspoon turmeric
- 1½ cups tomato puree (canned or from approximately 4 tomatoes, blended).
- 1 tablespoon kasoori methi (crushed between the palms of your hands)
- 1 medium head cauliflower (separated into small florets)
- 2 tablespoon cilantro (chopped)
- Salt to taste
Heat oil in a wok or skillet. Add the cumin seeds and saute until they darken slightly, a minute or so. Add the onions, saute until they begin to brown, then add the ginger garlic paste.
Saute the ginger garlic paste for a minute, then add in the spices: turmeric, cayenne, ground cumin, ground coriander and garam masala. Mix well to coat the onions with the spices.
Add the pureed tomatoes and mix well. Cook the tomatoes five minutes, stirring occasionally, until they darken slightly.
Add the kasoori methi, crushed between the palms of your hands, to the tomato puree. Mix it in.
Stir in the cauliflower florets and add salt to taste. Mix well, cover and cook over medium-low heat until the cauliflower is tender. Stir occasionally to make sure nothing is sticking to the pan.
Once the cauliflower is tender, check and add more salt if needed. Stir in the cilantro and serve the gobi sabzi hot.
