- (From Von Welanetz Guide to Ingredients) (A Punjabi recipe originally
- In a large wok, heat ghii and brown potatoes lightly.
- Remove the potatoes and remaining ghii/butter and set potatoes aside, reserving the ghii/butter.
- Pour in the mustard oil.
- To prepare mustard oil for cooking, heat till oil just begins to smoke, then let cold a bit.
- Reheat and begin cooking.
- When the oil is warm (but not smoking), add in the mustard seeds.
- Almost immediately they will begin to pop.
- Stir in the onion and toss till lightly browned.
- Reduce heat and add in all other spices.
- Cook, stirring constantly, till lightly toasted.
- Add in cauliflower and fry a little bit, till cauliflower is to the point which it and potatoes both need the same amount of cooking time to be fully cooked.
- After frying the cauliflower just a bit, I add in about 1/4 C. water to keep everything from sticking/burning, but this probably wouldn't be necessary if I used non-stick cookware.
- Add in potatoes and tomatoes, cover, and cook till done.
- Add in reserved ghii/butter and salt to taste.
