Masala cauliflower potatoes

This contains an ingredient that I think is unfairly maligned: cauliflower. When cooked and flavoured properly, (i.e. not boiled to death) it tastes delicious, as proven in this dish for masala spiced potatoes.

  • 1 tbsp sunflower oil

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a large pan over a low-medium heat. Add the mustard and cumin seeds and cook for 1-2 minutes until they begin to sizzle. Stir in the onion and cook, stirring, for 10-12 minutes or until golden.

  3. Take the pan off the heat, sprinkle over the coriander and serve hot.
