Ingredients:

• Cauliflower – 2 cups florets
• Onions – 1 small (diced)
• Mustard seeds – 1/2 tsp
• Turmeric powder – 1/4 tsp
• Black pepper powder – 1 tsp
• Oil – 3 tbsp
• Salt – to taste
• Curry leaves – a few (optional)

Method:

In a pan, heat oil and then splutter mustard seeds, add the onions and saute till golden brown. Then, add in the cauliflower, turmeric and salt. Sprinkle a little water and allow to cook (by placing a lid on top). when the cauliflower is alsmost done, add in the pepper powder and fry till all the water has drained out. Note: By not adding little water, using red chillies to saute and allowing to cook with a closed lid for a while imparts a slightly different flavor to the dish. Both methods produce a great cauliflower fry.
