Optional extras

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat the cauliflower dry and chop it into similar-sized chunks — dry surfaces brown better.

  2. 2

    Heat oil in a wide kadhai and crackle cumin seeds; fry the onions till lightly golden.

  3. 3

    Tip in the ginger garlic paste and green chilies, then the spices — fry until the oil separates at the edges.

    Fold in the cauliflower with the mustard seeds, sprinkle in a tablespoon of water, cover and steam until just done.

  5. 5

    Finish with garam masala, cilantro and a knob of butter for gloss.

Chef's tip

Don't crowd the pan; steam is the enemy of the browning that builds flavour.
