Ingredients
  

1 medium head of cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets

2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 cloves of garlic, minced

1-inch piece of fresh ginger, minced

2 medium ripe tomatoes, chopped

1 can (400 ml) coconut milk

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 teaspoon mustard seeds

1 teaspoon cumin seeds

1 teaspoon turmeric powder

1 teaspoon garam masala

1 teaspoon ground coriander

Salt, to taste

Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

1 cup vegetable broth or water

Optional: Lime wedges for serving

Instructions
 

Prepare the Aromatic Base: In a large, heavy-bottomed pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Sauté for about 30 seconds or until the seeds begin to crackle and release their fragrant aroma.

    Sauté the Vegetables: Next, add the finely chopped onions to the pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions become translucent and soft. Then, add the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional minute until they become fragrant.

      Incorporate the Spices: Sprinkle in the turmeric powder, garam masala, and ground coriander. Stir well to combine all ingredients and continue sautéing for another minute to lightly toast the spices, enhancing their flavor.

        Add the Tomatoes: Incorporate the chopped tomatoes and a pinch of salt into the pan. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the tomatoes soften and break down into a chunky sauce.

          Introduce Cauliflower and Potatoes: Gently fold in the cauliflower florets and diced potatoes, ensuring they are well-coated with the spiced tomato mixture.

            Add Liquid: Pour the creamy coconut milk and vegetable broth (or water) into the pan, stirring to combine. Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes and cauliflower are tender.

              Final Touches: After 20 minutes, taste the dish and adjust the seasoning with additional salt if needed. For an extra creamy texture, mash a few pieces of potato and cauliflower against the side of the pot with a spoon.

                Serve: Remove the pan from heat and garnish the dish with fresh cilantro leaves. Serve hot alongside lime wedges for an added zesty flavor, pairing it perfectly with rice or warm naan.
