Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spiced Cauliflower Delight.
Step 1
To start, grab a small skillet and warm up some oil over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Once the oil is shimmering, toss in the black mustard seeds and cover the skillet.
Step 3
Listen closely as the seeds begin to pop—this should take about 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 4
When the popping slows down, it’s time to add the chopped onion.
Step 5
Lower the heat to a gentle simmer and stir occasionally, letting the onion soften and turn translucent, which should take around 10 minutes.
Step 6
Next, introduce the minced garlic, slivered ginger, ground turmeric, and if you like a little heat, a pinch of optional chile powder and salt.
Step 7
Stir everything together and let it cook for about 30 seconds, allowing those wonderful spices to fill your kitchen with their delightful aroma.
Step 8
Now, it’s time to add the cauliflower florets.
Step 9
Give them a good stir for about a minute, ensuring they’re well coated in that fragrant spice mixture.
Step 10
After that, transfer the cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl and cover it.
Step 11
Pop it in the microwave on high for about 3 minutes, or until the florets are tender.
Step 12
Once they’re cooked to perfection, drizzle some optional lemon juice over the cauliflower and give it a gentle toss.
Step 13
This little touch of acidity will brighten up the flavors beautifully.
Step 14
Serve it up and enjoy the deliciousness you’ve created!.
