- 2 cups cauliflower florets
- 1 tsp ginger garlic paste
- 1 onion thinly sliced
- 1-2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- Salt to taste
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tbsp oil
Wash the cauliflower and cut them into small florets.
Put them in hot water for 5 minutes and drain the water completely.
Chop the onions into thin slices. In a pan add oil and add thinly sliced onions.
Saute till translucent and add the ginger garlic paste.
Add the blanched cauliflower florets to this.
Using a mortar and pestle, coarsely ground the black pepper and cumin seeds separately.
Add this to the cauliflower and add salt and turmeric powder.
Let this cook well and the cauliflower becomes soft.
Switch off the flame once it is done.
Serve hot with rasam rice or sambar rice. Even this will taste yummy with Phulkas.
Note:
1. Do not add any curry leaves or coriander leaves as this will suppress the pepper flavor.
2. You can use store-bought pepper powder and cumin powder but freshly ground one is highly recommended.
3. Cauliflower pepper fry pairs well with tomato rice, rasam sadam, and rotis too.
