Ingredients
- 3 medium gold potatoes (cut in a ¾th-inch dice)
- 1 medium cauliflower (florets separated)
- 2 teaspoon avocado oil or any neutral oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 medium red onion (cut in a very small dice)
- 2 small tomatoes (finely diced)
- 1 small green pepper like jalapeno (minced)
- ¼ cup cilantro or coriander leaves (divided)
- 1 tablespoon ginger garlic paste
- ½ teaspoon paprika (for color) or cayenne (for more heat) (optional)
- ½ teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon mango powder (amchur) (This adds some tartness. You can use lemon juice instead)
- 1 tablespoon ground coriander
- 1 tablespoon garam masala
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a skillet or wok.
- Add the cumin seeds. As they begin to turn a little darker and fragrant, add the onions with the green chili pepper and half the cilantro. Add some salt. Stir-fry over medium heat until the onions start to caramelize, about five minutes.
- Add the tomatoes, coriander powder and the ginger garlic paste. Continue to stir-fry until the tomatoes have broken down completely in a pulp.
- Add the turmeric, cayenne or paprika, if using, mango powder or lemon juice, and stir to mix. Add the potatoes and mix well.
- Add the cauliflower, mix, and and sprinkle on a couple of tablespoons of water. Turn the heat to medium-low. Cover the wok or skillet with a tight lid, preferably one that can hold a couple of tablespoons of water poured over the lid. This helps the veggies to steam-cook without burning them. If you don't have a lid that can hold water, just monitor your wok more closely and sprinkle on more water if the veggies start to stick to the bottom before they are cooked.
- Once the veggies are done, sprinkle on the garam masala and mix. You might want to add a little at a time to suit your taste. Check for salt and add more if needed.
- Garnish with the remaining cilantro and serve hot.
