Picked up a couple heads of cauliflowers from my Mama yesterday, normally I cook them with a little bit of oil, some salty preserved vegi and salt/pepper. Today I decided to be a little more adventurous and cook it Indian style, good thing is hubby has a big box of spices with the necessary ingredients, the most interesting part was how the mustard seeds started popping once they were heated up! I really enjoy how aromatic this dish makes my house smell the whole evening!

* oil for frying
* pinch of cumin
* pinch of mustard seed
* 2 tsp minced ginger
* 3 cloves of garlic, chopped
* 2 sharlets, thinly sliced
* 1/2 tsp ground turmeric
* one cauliflower, cut into flowerlets
* 1/2 tsp red chili powder
* 1 tsp salt
* pinch of pepper
* 1 tbsp water

* 1. Heat the oil in a wok (about 1 to 2 tbsp) and add the mustard seed.

* 2. When the seeds start to pop, add the cumin, ginger, garlic and onion. Stir fry for a few minutes until the onion turns golden.

* 3. Sprinkle ground turmeric and add the cauliflower. Stir fry for another 2 minutes to coat the vegetable.

* 4. Add the chili powder, salt and pepper to taste.

* 5. Push the cauliflowers to the edge of the wok, pour the water to the center, cover the pan and steam until cauliflower is soft. Stir occasionally until ready to serve.
