Enjoy the flavours of Cauliflower Curry and Gram Dhal Curry

To prepare a delicious Cauliflower Curry and Gram Dhal Curry, begin by heating a small amount of oil in a pot. Next, add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds, curry leaves, cinnamon sticks, and star anise. Once the seeds begin to pop and the curry leaves begin to splutter, introduce diced onions, dried red chillies, and green chillies. Sauté the onions until they start to turn a golden brown color. Then, add crushed garlic to the pot and cook for roughly 30 seconds, until it becomes fragrant.

Following this, incorporate turmeric powder, hing, garam masala, coriander powder, cumin powder, and mild Kashmiri chilli curry powder. Stir the mixture for around 30 seconds to ensure the spices are well mixed. Now, add the cauliflower florets and season them with salt according to your taste. Stir the ingredients well, adding a little hot water if necessary. Cover the pot and let the mixture cook on low heat for approximately 10 minutes.

Afterward, pour in liquidised tomatoes and mix thoroughly. Allow the curry to cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes. Next, stir in the gram dhal and finely sliced snap peas. Add about 1 cup (250 ml) of hot water, then stir well and bring the curry to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for another 5 minutes, giving the flavors ample time to meld together. Finally, garnish the dish with fresh coriander leaves before serving.
