Cauliflower in Tomato Soup Gravy




Most of us, forget small packets of masala powder hiding between big containers. And then after sometime we do not even remember the existence of that masala powder. Same thing happened with me.

 Few days back, when I was cleaning 1 of my Kitchen Cabinet (contains most stuffs which I do not use regularly), I found a packet of Hot Tomato Soup Powder. I happened to got it around 6 months ago. I was in no mood of making the soup, but I do not wanted to throw it away. So, I kept it back in drawer.

 Today, when I was talking to my dearest friend "Anupama", she asked me the same question " how to use tomato Soup powder, if U do not want to make a soup. After giving some thought, I came to conclusion that the Chinese dishes like Cauliflower Manchurian, Vegetable  Manchurian ( these recipe will be coming soon) will come out good. But, again I was running out of cornflour, so I decided of making simple Cauliflower dish, which turned out to be so yummy, that I couldn't stop finishing it all by myself.

Here, is the recipe for this amazing dish -

 Ingredients-
  1. Cauliflower skillets - 2 Bowls ( cleaned, washed and drained)
  2. Onion - 1/2 thinly sliced (big)
  3. Garlic - 2 cloves (minced)
  4. Salt to taste
  5. Turmeric Powder - 1tsp
  6. Black Pepper Powder- 1tsp
  7. Cumin Powder - 1 tsp
  8. Cooking Oil - 1 tbsp
  9. Hot Tomato Soup Powder - 3 Tbsp

Directions-  

  • Mix Hot tomato Soup Powder with double amount of water.
  • Stir so that all lumps are dissolved.
  • Add salt according to your taste, with turmeric powder, black pepper powder and cumin powder.
  • Wash Cauliflower skillets and drain.
  • In a heated pan, add  cooking oil, garlic, when turns light brown, add onion and fry for 2-3 minutes on high flame.
  • On high flame and add the Cauliflower and fry for 2-3 minutes.
     
  • Add 1/2 cup of water more, and cover it, let it get cooked for another 15 minutes.
  • Check cauliflower by cutting it through spoon.
  • All the water should get dried up by this time, and if it's not open the lid of pan, and dry it with stirring occasionally on high flame.
  • Garnish it with Cilantro, and serve it hot with roti/ parantha/ tortilla.
 NOTE-  To make it more nutritious, add chopped spinach to Garnish. It will look beautiful and will be healthy too.

I have very beautiful memories from my Childhood for all traditional foods... Peas used to be a seasonal vegetable when we were growing up... It wasn't like today, that frozen peas was so easily available throughout the year... Peas starts coming in the farmer's market, by the end of November.... But, it use to be very costly, and by the mid of December, the peas were abundantly available in all the Veggie's market.... We were staying in the rural area, and my mom used to buy Peas with cover in a bulk... Me and my sister, use to help her in peeling those Peas, and then she makes small portion packets, and freeze it.. So, that we can enjoy Peas even in summer.  So, these Kachori's became our weekend breakfast in Wintery months... I tried to make it as good as my mom, but then her cooking has a special touch of love, which makes the food much more tastier.... You can fry these Kachori's as well as bake them...  She use to make both of them, as my dad was...
