Cauliflower With Five Spices Recipes

Steps:

• Cut the cauliflower into quarters through the stem. Trim and discard the core, then separate the head into florets. Place a third of the florets into a food processor and pulse in 2- to 3-second bursts until the cauliflower is finely chopped and has the consistency of couscous. Repeat twice, until all of the cauliflower is chopped. (One large head should yield approximately 8 cups chopped.)
• Combine the cumin, pepper, turmeric, ginger and nutmeg in a small bowl and add 1 tablespoon water. Stir well to combine and set aside.
• Heat the oil in a large saute pan over high heat. When the oil begins to shimmer, add the onion and cook, stirring often, until tender but not browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until aromatic, 30 seconds more. Stir in the spice mixture and cook another 30 seconds.
• Add the cauliflower, peas and carrots and stir well. Add some salt to taste. Cook, stirring often, until the cauliflower is tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to bowls and garnish with chives.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a big pan or wok with a lid, then add the ginger and spices. Swirl everything around for a few secs until the spices are aromatic. Reduce the heat, then stir in the cauliflower and some seasoning. Put the lid on and cook for 10 mins or until softened, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle over the coriander before serving.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat; add mustard seeds and cover skillet. Cook until seeds stop popping, 2 to 3 minutes. Add onion to the skillet; cook and stir over low heat until translucent, about 10 minutes.
• Mix garlic, ginger, turmeric, chile powder, and salt into onion mixture; cook and stir for 30 seconds. Add cauliflower; cook and stir for 1 minute. Transfer cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl and cover bowl.
• Cook cauliflower in microwave until tender, about 3 minutes. Drizzle lemon juice over cauliflower.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a deep pan.
• Drop in all seeds at once.
• Cover till they stop spluttering Add the cauliflower Stir gently to coat with the tempered oil.
• Cook 5 minutes Add the salt, chilli powder and turmeric.
• Traditionally this dish uses a lot of turmeric I have toned it down to 1/2 tsp you can do so further.
• Cover and cook till the vegetable is half done.
• Add the garlic and cover and cook till 3/4ths done.
• Add the ginger and stir.
• Then add the curd and cook till fully tender.
• (I like it a little crunchy but traditionally the vegetable is tenderised totally) Garnish with the cilantro before serving.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium pan. Add the ground and fresh coriander, onions and cauliflower florets, stir well and add the water. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat to very low, cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Take 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of the cauliflower "stock" from the pan and stir into the flour to make a smooth paste, then add back to the cauliflower in the pan. Simmer for a few minutes, then season with ginger, cumin and lemon juice.
• Leave for 1 to 2 minutes for the flavours to develop, then serve warm or at room temperature. (Or see description for variation to make salad.).
