- Prepare the Cauliflower: Begin by washing and cutting the cauliflower into small florets.
- Cook the Cauliflower: Steam or blanch the cauliflower florets in boiling water until they are tender but still firm, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Make the Sauce: In a large pan, heat the butter and vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the cumin and mustard seeds, allowing them to splutter for 30 seconds.
- Sauté Aromatics: Add the chopped onion and green chilies to the pan. Sauté until the onion turns golden brown. Then, add the ginger-garlic paste and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add Spices and Cauliflower: Stir in turmeric powder, red chili powder, and garam masala. Mix well before adding the cooked cauliflower. Gently toss to coat the florets in the spice mixture. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
This simple process makes Butter Cauliflower a satisfying and delicious dish that you'll want to make again and again.
