Today I made Cauliflower and green peas curry. And it turned out great. And if you have cauliflower and peas in the freezer, the prep time is 5 minutes. The cooking time is about 15 – 20 minutes.
It goes well with Rice or Roti. But I had it with Roti today. It was delicious.
Let’s start.
Ingredients
Onions – 3 Finely chopped
Tomato – 3 roughly chopped
Leeks – ½ cup (I added leeks because that is something I have in the freezer)
Ginger and Garlic paste – 1 teaspoon each
Green Peas
Cauliflower
Chili Powder – 1 teaspoon
Garam Masala – 1 teaspoon
Coriander Powder – 2 teaspoons
Dry fenugreek leaf / Kasuri Methi – ½ teaspoon
Turmeric Powder – ½ teaspoon
Salt
Oil – 1 teaspoon
Mustard seeds – ½ tea spoon
Cumin seeds – ½ tea spoon
Method
Heat Oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds.
Once the mustard seeds start spluttering, add onions and leeks and cook until it turns translucent.
Add the ginger and garlic paste. When it starts turning brown, add the chopped tomatoes. Since I am using dried green peas, I am adding the green peas now. If you are using regular green peas, don’t add the green peas now.
When the tomatoes soften, add turmeric, chili powder, coriander powder and garam masala. And 1 cup of water. Let it cook well. Add the cauliflower, green peas and salt.
Add crushed dry fenugreek leaves / kasuri methi.
Cook for 5 minutes and its done.
Thank you for reading.
I cook every day. Well, almost every day. And there are days where I cook multiple recipes. Having said that, I am not an authentic or professional chef. Many of my recipes are experiments as I try to adapt and use the ingredients I already have.
My mantra is you should cook food just the way you like it. I don’t mean any disrespect to traditional methods of cooking or any cultures where the cuisine originates from. But I merely try to cook it with what I have and what is available to me and sometimes, I add ingredients that I want to use up.
