Cauliflower Lima Beans Fry


          Cauliflower is one vegetable I like to always have in the fridge, you can come up with so many curries with it, from simple stir fries, to kurmas and appetizers like pakoras or the most loved manchurian. I simply love this vegetable, my daughter would not agree with me on this, except might be when she gets her pakoras. Today's recipe is a simple fry, I also added some lima beans, which is also something that I always have in the freezer. It blends very well with the cauliflower and also makes the dish more wholesome..

Need To Have
  • Cauliflower - 1 small
  • Lima Beans - 3/4 cup
  • Asafoetida - 1/4 teaspoon
  • Turmeric Powder - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Chilli Powder - 1/4 teaspoon
  • Coriander Powder - 1 teaspoon
  • Roasted cumin Powder - 1/4 teaspoon
  • Black Pepper Powder - 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon
  • Curry Leaves - 1 sprig
  • Mustard Seeds - 1/4 teaspoon
  • Cumin Seeds - 1/4 teaspoon
  • Urad Dal - 1 teaspoon


Method
          Cut the cauliflower into medium size florets. Heat oil, add the urad dal, mustard and cumin seeds, once the spluttering stops, add  the curry leaves and the asafoetida, followed by the cauliflower, lima beans, turmeric powder and salt. Cover and cook till 3/4th done, add the chilli and coriander powder, reduce the heat and keep cooking till the cauliflower gets light brown spots. Finally, add the cumin and pepper powder, mix well and serve with some rice and dal.
