|
|
|
| What You Need: |
|
|
|
1 head cauliflower, about 1¼ pounds
2 small bunches of scallions
2 teaspoons black mustard seeds
2 teaspoons cumin seeds

| How To Cook: |
|
|
1. Separate and cut the cauliflower into 1-inch florets. Peel the cauliflower stem and cut into thin slices. Set aside.
|
2. Trim the scallions and chop them, including the entire green part. Set aside.
|
3. Measure out the spices and place them, as well as the water, right next to the stove.
|
4. Heat the oil in a wok or a saute pan over high heat. When the oil is hot, add the mustard, cumin, and fennel.
|
5. Keep a pot lid handy since the seeds may splatter and sputter when added. When the seeds stop sputtering, add the turmeric and immediately add the cauliflower.
|
6. Stir-fry the cauliflower until it's evenly coated with spice-infused oil. Add the scallions, salt, and water; mix and cover with a lid. Cook over medium heat and toss a couple times until the cauliflower is soft, about 10 minutes.
|
7. Uncover, fold in the coriander, and continue stir-frying until excess moisture evaporates and the cauliflower looks glazed, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and serve.
