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.

Onion 2 nos big ones
Green chillies 3-4 nos sliced
Curry leaves 10 nos
Garlic paste 1 tsp

Cumin pwdr 1/2 tsp
Garam masala 1/2 tsp
Turmeric pwdr 1/2 tsp

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.
