Estimated per serving from USDA FoodData Central and Indian Food Composition Tables 2017 values for the raw ingredients. Real numbers vary with brands and portions.

Ingredients

  • 400 g cauliflower, grated or pulsed to rice size (காலிஃபிளவர்)
  • 60 g onion, chopped
  • 15 g peanuts (வேர்க்கடலை)
  • 1 tsp urad dal
  • 1 tbsp ghee
  • 2 green chillies, ginger, curry leaves, mustard seeds, salt
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Method

  1. Heat ghee. Add mustard seeds, urad dal and peanuts; fry until the dal is golden.
  2. Add curry leaves, green chillies, ginger and onion. Cook until soft.
  3. Add the cauliflower and salt. Stir on high heat for 5 to 6 minutes, uncovered, so it stays dry and fluffy.
  4. Finish with lemon juice and coriander leaves.
Tips

Do not cover the pan or add water. Cauliflower releases its own moisture.
