Ingredients

  • 2 tsp canola oil
  • 1 tsp mustard seeds
  • ½ tsp cumin seeds
  • ¼ tsp hing aka Asafoetida
  • ½ tsp ground turmeric
  • ½ green chile like a serrano chile, kept whole, not diced
  • 1 small potato diced
  • 1 cauliflower head cut into florets
  • ½ cup frozen peas or ¼ cup frozen peas + ¼ cup frozen carrots
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp ground cumin
  • Cilantro chopped (as a garnish)

Instructions

  • Cut the cauliflower and potato into bite sized pieces and set aside. I like to cut them into a similar size, then they cook at the same pace.
  • Heat the oil on medium high heat in a large skillet, add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds until they pop. Then add the hing, turmeric, green chile and potatoes. Stir for 15-30 seconds to combine. Then add the cauliflower, carrots and peas and stir again.
  • Add the salt and cumin powder, cover and let cook on medium-low for 10-20 minutes (depending on how cooked through you like your veggies). Meanwhile, chop your cilantro.
  • Right before you’re ready to serve the sabji, add the cilantro.

Notes

Top Tips for Making Cauliflower Sabji
  • Use pre-cut cauliflower florets to save time. You could also use frozen cauliflower florets. Cooking time will be reduced.
  • Make sure to cook the mustard and cumin seeds in oil. Be patient and allow them to pop before adding any other additional ingredients. This creates a super fragrant and flavorful dish!
  • Be careful not to overcook your cauliflower. I like mine with some texture (not too soft).
