Cauliflower Cooked In Yogurt



I love cauliflower but rarely cook with it, maybe because I have only one or two ideas to cook it. A few days ago I saw these really lovely cauliflowers being sold and bought one to cook for lunch. I had this recipe in Roshi Razzag's   Indian Low Fat cooking cookbook.
I made mine a little bit fatty with the saute' of onions in a little oil.  Goes well with some grilled fish and rice. My hubby can't stand completely vegetarian food so there has to be some form of meat or fish somewhere.


Recipe : Cauliflower cooked in yogurt  adapted from Roshi Razzaq's Indian Low fat Cooking 

1 small onion, sliced
1 small cauliflower, cut into florets
2 medium plum tomatoes, chopped
1 tsp grated ginger
1 fat clove garlic grated
2 green chillies roughly chopped
1/2 cup plain yoghurt ( unsweetened)
1/4 cup water
a nice little bunch of coriander leaves and stems, stems and leaves separated and chopped finely.
1/2 tsp turmeric
salt
oil
1 tsp cumin seeds
1/2 tsp garam masala

Mix yoghurt, turmeric, garam masala and a pinch of salt and mix well. Set aside.

Heat oil in a  pot big enough to fit everything, and fry cumin seeds till they start to crackle,  add onion, and stir fry till they go soft. Add tomatoes,  the chopped coriander stems, garlic, and ginger and stir fry for a minute.  Switch off the heat.

Add the cauliflower florets, chillies the yoghurt mixture and 1/4 cup water. Mix well with a wooden spoon, return to the stovetop over medium heat and cook covered for bout 10- 15 minutes till the cauliflower is cooked through but not completely soft and mushy ( then its really bleah!!!) 

Check and stir occasionally, adding a little water if necessary.  

Taste add more salt if needed and finally stir in coriander leaves, Switch off and serve with plain rice and a grilled fish or a chicken dish.
