Potatoes and cauliflower are two most popular vegetables used in Indian cooking. In this potatoes and cauliflower curry recipe these veggies are sautéed in Indian spices and finished with an optional garnish of cilantro leaves.
Scrub 2 large potatoes thoroughly and cut into 1/2 inch cubes. Place the cubed potatoes soaked in a large bowl of water. This step will remove the excess starch from the potatoes and prevent them from turning mushy.
Chop 1 small head cauliflower into bite size florets.
Bring a large pot of water to rolling boil, add a big pinch of salt and switch it off. Add the cauliflower florets and let sit for 5 minutes.
Drain the florets in a colander and rinse them with cold water immediately to prevent them turning soggy.
Once the potato and cauliflower are prepped, finely chop one large onion, slit one green chili, mince 1/2 inch peeled ginger and 2 cloves garlic.
