Very long back in Singapore when we visited a friend she made this cauliflower masala. I have tried this at home a few times but never documented the recipe. Even when i shared the curry leaves pulao recipe, i have kept this masala in the background. If you are looking for an easy cauliflower masala recipe, then do give this a try. Do check out the notes section for variation. We had this masala with spring onion paratha for a weeknight dinner.
Cut the cauliflower into medium-sized florets. Put them in hot water for 10 minutes and drain the water completely.
In a pan add oil and add cumin seeds.Add the ginger-garlic paste. Cook for 2-3 minutes in medium flame. Add 1 finely chopped onions.Saute till it becomes translucent.You can add salt now to get the onions cooked evenly.
Puree the tomato.
Add it to the pan. Cook for 2 minutesAt this stage, you can add the red chili powder and garam masala. You can add ½ tsp of coriander powder too. Mix everything well and cook for 2 minutes.
Add the cauliflower florets. I didn’t add any water. I wanted a semi-dry masala.Cover it and cook for 5 minutes.Stir in between. Since we blanched the cauliflower it will get cooked quickly.
Switch off the flame.Add crushed kasoori methi and mix well.Garnish with coriander leaves.
Serve hot with roti, pulao, or naan.
