Cauliflower Pepper Fry

Cauliflower is one among my favorite veggies and i love to have this with simple rasam and rice and even as a side dish for chapathis too. Being bored with the usual Cauliflower Curry i was thinking to make some different with cauliflower and tried out cauliflower curry using freshly ground pepper. It turned amazing well

Ingredients:-

1. Cauliflower - 1 Medium Size
2. Onion - 1
3. Ginger Garlic Paste - 1/2 Tsp (Optional)
4. Black Pepper - 3/4 Tsp
5. Cumin Seeds - 1/2 Tsp
6. Salt - To Taste
7. Turmeric powder - a pinch
8. Oil - 1 Tbsp

Method:-

• Wash the cauliflower and cut them into small florets.
• Chop the onions into thin slices. In a pan add oil and add ginger garlic paste.
• Sauté for a while and add the onions and sauté till they become translucent.
• Add the cauliflower florets to this. Using a mortar and pestle, coarsely ground the black pepper and cumin seeds separately.
•   Add this to the cauliflower and add salt and turmeric powder.
• Sprinkle little water and cook the florets become soft.
• Switch off the flame once it is done.
• Serve hot with rasam rice or sambar rice. Even this will taste yum with roti also

Note:-

• As my parents are not so comfortable with garlic smell, i usually omit the ginger garlic paste. 

• I added 3/4 spoon of pepper powder, as my hubby is not comfortable with pepper taste. you can increase/decrease the pepper powder according to your taste
