Spicy Cauliflower and Broccoli Fry

On a lazy Sunday afternoon, thinking about doing a cauliflower based side dish to accompany mom's rasam. I stumbled upon amma chepindi blog on making Cauliflower karu veppudu. I kinda adapted the recipe to make this dish.

Ingredients
Cauliflower 1 no
Broccoli 1/2 head
Onion 2 nos big ones
Green chillies 3-4 nos sliced
Curry leaves 10 nos
Garlic paste 1 tsp
Ginger paste 1/2 tsp
Chilly powder 1 tsp
Coriander pwdr 1/2 tsp
Cumin pwdr 1/2 tsp
Garam masala 1/2 tsp
Turmeric pwdr 1/2 tsp
Oil 2 tbs
Water 1/4 cup
Salt to taste
Fresh coriander  a handful  chopped finely

Preparation
Cut cauliflower and broccoli into small florets. Place them in a bowl and rinse then thoroughly with water and strain. Chop the onions roughly and sluice the green chillies.
Heat the oil in a pan and add the curry leaves along with the sliced green chillies. Cover and cook, then add onions and continue cooking until the onions turn translucent. Now add the ginger and garlic paste cooking until the raw smell goes away. Add chilly pwdr, turmeric pwdr, cumin pwdr and coriander pwdr mix well and cook till the spices get cooked.
Now add the cauliflower and broccoli mixing well and add salt. Sprinkle some water, cover and cook under medium flame till the cauliflower is well cooked.
Remove cover, add garam masala and chopped coriander leaves mix well and cook uncovered for about 5 mins.

Serve hot as sides for rice or chappathi.
