Cumin Flavoured Potato Cauliflower

A super tasty vegetable made of potato  and cauliflower with the dominating cumin flavour. I can never forget this tasty breakfast dish which was packed for us on this misty morning  when we started off from Hotel Spick And Span at Leh for the awesome Pangong Lake. The aroma of this vegetable is still there in my memory, the lovely pooris actually complimented the dish. I came back home and learnt to make it, since then it  is often one of the favourites on my dining menu.

Ingredients

4 poatoes chopped into medium sized squares, medium sized florets of 1 cauliflower par boiled and drained, ready to go into the spicemix.
1 tspoon of cumin seeds
1 tspoon of chilli powder
1 small spoon turmeric powder
1 small spoon asefotida
1 heaped tspoon of cumin poder
Salt to taste
Corinader for garnishing
3 tspoons of mustard oil 

Method

Take mustard oil in a kadhai, let it heat well, add the cumin seeds, let them splutter, add the asefotida, turmeric powder, chilli powder, cumin powder, salt and give it a quick stir, now add the parbolied vegetables, sprinkle very little water and let the vegetable cook open, I chose to add even the fresh coriander in the oil, it tastes awesome in my opinion, let the vegetables almost cook to a golden brown in the spices, at this stage you can remove the pan from the flame. Tranfer into a serving bowl. The brown crust which forms at the bottom can be scraped and ....this tastes awesome too. Garnish with fresh coriander and serve with hot Indian fried flat bread... phew!! I mean puris.
