Cauliflower in tomato gravy

The Bengali Cauliflower Dalna. One of the easiest recipes around.



Fry 1 onions chopped fine, 1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste, with 1 tsp each zeera and dhania powder till the raw smell goes. Add 2 medium tomatoes chopped fine, and 1 tsp each red-chilli and haldi powder,and fry it gets slightly mushy.
Add cauliflower florets (1 medium sized cauliflower)*, toss it around a bit. Add about 1 cup of water, bring to boil, lower flame, cover and allow to cook in it's own steam for 10 minutes (or till done).
You can also add peas, if you like, but I don't add potatoes.


* at this stage, my mother adds 1 tsp garam masala, but I don't because the kids don't like it "spicy" (uttered with a crinkly nose).
