Preparation

• Heat four teaspoons of cold pressed organic avocado oil in a pan on medium heat. Add cauliflower florets and fry for two to three minutes and then add the sliced potatoes.

• Fry on medium-low flame for seven to eight minutes till potatoes and cauliflower have some brown spots on them.

• In the same pan heat half a teaspoon of oil on medium heat and add cumin seeds and let them crackle. Add the onions and cook for two minutes till translucent.

• Add the ginger-garlic paste and cook for another two minutes or till the raw smell goes away. Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for two minutes until they are a little soft.

• Add turmeric powder, green chillies, coriander powder and mango powder. Cover the pan and let the masala cook for two to three minutes and then add the potatoes and cauliflower to it and mix.

• Add chopped coriander leaves and give a good mix. Add garam masala and cook the potatoes and cauliflower on medium-low heat for five to six minutes.

• Add salt and cover the pan and cook for more additional six to seven minutes on low flame or till the potatoes and cauliflower are tender but not soggy. If you feel the masala is sticking, you may add some water. Add one tablespoon at a time and only add enough to cook the veggies.

• Garnish with some more coriander leaves and serve hot with any Indian roti.
