Cauliflower and Peas Curry- Enjoying Veggies as a part of a healthy diet

Movember is a World Vegan Month, so lets pledge to include more veggies in our diet! After all we all know vegetables are a great way of adding colour and fibre to the diet. The non-starchy vegetables (does that mean potato is not included in this group....hmmm....yes...as it is starchy ;-)) are low calorie, low fat and cholesterol free....great way to fill you up. And if we get to eat a curry made of vegetables than it is a right combo...taste and health!!

I am sharing the recipe I promised of a simple Indian vegetable curry that is made so often at home. It is the humble cauliflower and peas curry. 

Ingredients

Serves 3

1 teaspoon cooking oil

1 medium cauliflower, cut into bite size florets

1/2 cup of frozen green peas

1 can of tomato purée 

1 teaspoon of whole cumin

1  teaspoon of red chilly powder

1 teaspoon coriander and cumin powder 

1/2  teaspoon turmeric powder
About 1 teaspoon salt or to taste

 

Cooking Method

Heat the oil  and add whole cumin.
Fry the cauliflower florets in it. 

Add the spices (chilly powder, coriander-cumin powder, turmeric powder, salt) 

 Then add green peas and cook for 5 minutes. 

Add the tomato purée next. Cook for 5 minutes more.


Add a little water and cover the pan to cook the florets thoroughly.

Here is the cauliflower and peas curry all ready. It is perfect with chapati (Indian flat bread made of wheat flour).

P.S: Don't be surprised if next time your husband may just get you this sweet cauliflower bouquet ....it is just is way of saying what he wants to eat tonight!

Or may be this anthocyanin rich purple cauliflower to add colour to life ;-) xx
