INGREDIENTS

1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon ground coriander
2 tablespoons water
1 1/2 teaspoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon peeled fresh ginger, grated
1 green chilli, seeded and chopped
2 tablespoons mustard oil
4 cups cauliflower, cut into florets 4 centimeters in diameter
1/4 kilograms / 8 ounces peeled potatoes (about 2 medium), cut into 2.5 centimeters / 1 inch cubes
1 cup chopped tomatoes
1/4 cup water
1 bay leaf

METHOD

Combine cumin and coriander with 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl. Add sugar salt, ginger, and green chilli. Add oil and mix well. Combine cauliflower, potatoes, and tomatoes in a large bowl. Pour the spice mixture over the vegetables and mix thoroughly.

Heat the water in a non-stick skillet at least 25 centimeters / 10 inches in diameter. As soon as it comes to a boil, add bay leaf and the vegetable mixture. You do not need to stir it. Simmer, tightly covered, until the potatoes are tender and cauliflower is still slightly crunchy, 15-20 minutes. Garnish with fresh coriander and serve.
