  • Peel and dice the potatoes into similar size of the cauliflower florets.
  • Wash both separately and then soak the diced potatoes in water for 10 minutes.
  • Prepare the spice paste in the meantime. In a pan at medium heat, dry roast 1 and ½ teaspoon cumin seeds, coriander seeds and fennel seeds for few seconds, until you smell the aroma and the color of the seeds darkens a little.
  • Then grind the roasted spice coarsely and pour it to a bowl. To the spice mix add turmeric and Kashmiri chili powder. Pour little water and make a spice paste.
  • Grind the ginger and green chili.
  • In a heavy bottom pan, pour the oil, sprinkle the rest of the cumin seeds and then add the ginger chili paste. Stir it around for a few seconds.
  • Then scatter the cauliflower and toss it around. Add the potatoes, salt and mix it around.
  • Then pour the spice mix, mix it around and let it cook for 3 minutes.
  • Pour ½ cup water, give a toss, cover the pan, and let it simmer at medium low heat for 10 minutes.
  • The potatoes and cauliflower must be cooked by now. Add the dried fenugreek leaves and cook for 5 minutes. If it gets too dry, then add a little water.
  • Finally, add the chopped cilantro leaves and enjoy it warm with paratha.
