Cauliflower with tomatoes, orange & Indian spices

Recipe: Cauliflower with tomatoes and orange

1 head of cauliflower, broken into small florets

1 onion, sliced

4 curry leaves

4 cloves

4 green cardamoms

1 piece cinnamon stick

1/2 tbsp chopped fresh ginger

1 tsp turmeric

1 tsp salt

1 tsp ground cumin

6 small tomatoes, halved

1 orange, peeled and cut into segments with no pith

Heat 1/2 tbsp ghee or oil in a frying pan until hot and quickly fry the curry leaves, cloves, cardamoms and cinnamon for 30 seconds, add the onion, ginger, cauliflower and turmeric and stir everything well for a few minutes.

Cover the pan with a sheet of foil, (or a lid if it has one), reduce the heat to low and cook until the cauliflower is soft, (this may take as long as 30 minutes). Add a little water if it starts to stick.

Once the cauliflower is soft, remove the foil and let the cauliflower boil for a few minutes to evaporate the liquid.

Add the tomatoes, cumin powder and orange and fry quickly until the tomatoes have softened slightly. Serve.
