Gobi matar

Method

1. 1 Separate the cauliflower into florets and drain thoroughly.
2. 2 Sauté cumin seeds in oil for 30 seconds, then add ginger and green chilies and stir-fry for 40 seconds.
3. 3 Add the cauliflower and stir-fry for 4 minutes, then sprinkle with turmeric and cover, cooking for 10 minutes without adding water.
4. 4 Cooking with the steam from the vegetable itself is the way to keep the cauliflower florets intact; adding water will make them mushy.
5. 5 Add the chopped tomatoes and peas and stir-fry for 5 minutes.
6. 6 Sprinkle with garam masala and cilantro when turning off the heat; this dish is stir-fried dry, not with sauce.
