Traditional Indian cauliflower and potato curry recipe from my mom. We used to eat this all the time growing up. My sister likes it with peas too.
Ingredients
1 head cauliflower, cut into 1-inch florets
3 potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
2 tomatoes, diced
1 onion, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon curry powder
Directions
Place the cauliflower in a large, microwave-safe dish; cook in microwave on High for 3 minutes. Transfer the cauliflower to a bowl and set aside. Put the potatoes in the dish and cook in the microwave on High for 4 minutes. Pour into the bowl with the cauliflower.
Heat the olive oil and cumin seeds in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the cumin swells and turns golden brown; stir the onions into the oil and cook about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook and stir another 3 minutes. Fold the cauliflower and potatoes into the mixture. Season with the curry powder and salt. Continue cooking until completely hot, 3 to 5 minutes.
