How to make Pepperfry Cauliflower?
I always start the process of cooking cauliflower with Soaking. Soaking cauliflower in warm salted water makes sure the inside cleaning. This is what my mother does all the time. Heat water and add salt. once the water is hot enough, add cauliflower in it and soak it for 5 to 10 mins.
Drain and chop cauliflower.
Heat oil in pan.
Add mustard seeds and cumin.
When they crackle add curry leaves if you want. Adding curry leaves is totally optional.
Add chopped cauliflower.
Add turmeric powder, salt, black pepper powder and mix well.
cook for them on high flame for 5 to 7 mins.
serve hot with roti or paratha.
