Ingredients
  

  • 2 large potatoes choose a hard variety like red or white
  • 1 small cauliflower or half a large
  • 1 onion
  • 2-3 tsp vegetable oil start with 2, add more if needed
  • 1 chunk ginger size of a thumb
  • 2 cloves garlic or more if cloves are small
  • 1 cup chopped tomato
  • 2 Tbsp water or more if needed to add moisture
  • ½ tsp cumin seeds
  • ½ tsp turmeric
  • ¼ tsp ground cayenne pepper use more for a spicier dish
  • ¼ tsp garam masala
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • large handful chopped cilantro, stems and leafs separated save some for garnish
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Peel and chop potatoes. Clean and cut cauliflower into similar sized pieces as potatoes.
  • Cook potato chunks in salted boiling water for 5-6 minutes. Add cauliflower and cook 2-3 more minutes. Drain well and rinse with cold water to stop cooking.
  • Chop onion. Peel and mince garlic and ginger.
  • Heat oil in large skillet to medium. Add cumin seeds and fry until starting to crackle. Add onion and sauté for a few minutes until softening. Add ginger and continue to cook until onions are golden and soft.
  • Add garlic, turmeric, cayenne, garam masala and cumin. Fry for a few minutes to bring out the flavours. Add more oil if needed, if too dry. You want it to be more like a paste.
  • Add drained potatoes and cauliflower, turn heat up slightly and stir fry for a few minutes until well coated with spice mixture.
  • Chop tomatoes. Add to pan, along with water, just enough so the dish isn't too dry. Stir well. Add chopped cilantro stems, cover with lid and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 5-7 minutes, tasting and adding more salt as needed, until vegetables are fork tender but not mushy.
  • Add cilantro leaves and stir to combine. Serve hot and garnish with more fresh cilantro if desired.
