Notes
Stove top Skillet: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add blended mixture and spices from step 1 and cook until the garlic doesnt smell raw. 3 to 4 minutes. Add potatoes and mix in, cover and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cauliflower and mix in. Cover and cook for 10 minutes. Stir, add water if too dry, taste and adjust salt and spice. Continue to cook covered for another few minutes until cooked to preference.
To make this Oil, just omit the oil.
Variations:
Add other spices like 1/4 tsp each cinnamon and pepper, 1/2 tsp dried fenugreek leaves, or 1/2 tsp panch phoron, or 1/2 to 1 tsp berbere instead of garam masala.
To make the dish a main: Add some coconut milk, greens, peas after you add the cauliflower. Add more garam masala for garnish. Serve with whole grain flatbreads.
Troubleshoot: Cauliflower tends to cook very quickly, so use larger pieces in this recipe. If the mixture is still overcooked, just mash everything up, add some chopped onion, garam masala, lemon, vegan butter and serve as veggie mash or as pav bhaji.
