Cauliflower Kurma in Green Gravy

Gobi is one vegetable which I buy often and often end up making the regular sabzi,paratha and I sometimes use it in pulao's.When I saw this recipe here I liked the recipe and the ingredients that went in it giving a typical south Indian touch to the curry.Here comes the recipe of it.

Ingredients:
1 medium cauliflower,cut into florets
4-5 cloves
4 green cardamom pods
1" cinnamon stick
1 tsp cumin seeds
2 tbsp ghee/oil
juice of half a lemon
1 tsp chopped coriander
salt to taste

To grind:
3/4 cup coconut
1/2 cup fresh coriander leaves
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
3-4 green chillies
3/4" ginger,chopped

Method:
  • Clean the cauliflower and cut into medium size florets.Drop them in boiling salted water and cook for 2-3mins and drain them and keep aside.
  • Grind the ingredients under the section 'To grind' to a smooth paste adding little water if required.
  • Heat ghee or oil in a kadai and crackle cumin seeds and add cloves,cardamom pods,cinnamon and fry until they turn aromatic.
  • Add ground paste and fry until the raw smell goes away and add the cauliflower florets and fry for a minute or two.
  • Add a cup of water and enough salt to it and cover it with lid and cook for 5-6 mins until the gravy thickens.
  • Switch off the flame and stir in the lemon juice and mix well.Garnish with coriander.
Serve it hot with roti's/chapathy's/pulao's.

Note:
  • For a Vegan version use only oil in the recipe.
