Ingredients
|
- In a small bowl, mix together the grated ginger, garlic, oil, coriander, turmeric, and 1/2 cup water. Set aside.
- In a large pot, warm 2 TBS oil over medium-high heat and add the serrano pepper. Wait 30 seconds, and then add the cumin seeds (they will spit a little).
- Add the ginger/garlic/spice mixture (it will also spit). Cook until the paste thickens, deepens in color slightly, and oil oozes out of the perimeter of the masala, about 2 minutes.
- Add the cauliflower and potatoes, stirring to coat the vegetables with the masala. Season with salt and add 1/2 cup water.
- Cover and cook over medium heat 15 to 20 minutes, stirring once or twice in the process, until the cauliflower and potatoes are cooked through.
- Garnish with cilantro and serve.
