Cauliflower-Cabbage vegetable BhuTti

Hi again!

I have been learning quite a lot from my latest guru, my wife. Here is an item learnt recently - Cauliflower-Cabbage vegetable BhuTti. One of my favourite side dishes with rice and sambar.

Preparation -

• Cut Cauliflower and Cabbage in small pieces
• Finely chop an Onion

• Prepare Masala with following ingredients in a mixer - 1 cup of grated coconut, few fried red Chillies, a spoonful of Coriander, small piece of Tamarind.

Steps -

• Place a deep pan on flame, put 2 spoon of oil.
• Once oil warms up add mustard seeds and put few curry leaves.
• Add chopped Onion and fry for few minutes
• Add the masala paste and fry for few more minutes
• Add washed Cauliflower and Cabbage pieces, mix well
• Salt to taste
• Add half glass of water, close with a lid and cook for 10-15 minutes
• Stir occasionally.

Cauliflower-potato side-dish

Needs -

Mix of diced Cauliflower and long-sliced potatoes.

Note-

• Cauliflower is typically contaminated (so is Cabbage) so it needs to be cleaned thoroughly. 
• After cutting soak for some time in warm water, with a bit of salt and Turmeric powder. 
• Drain water and wash in clean water. 

Preparation-

• Heat oil in pan
• Add mustard seeds and cut red/green Chillies

• Add cut Cauliflower and potato
• Add salt to taste
• Cover with a lid, occasionally stir. Do NOT add water
• Wait till the mix roasts a bit

Here is a spicier (and tastier) variation -

1. Heat 2-spoonful of (coconut/vegetable/olive/sunflower) oil in pan
2. Add mustard seeds
3. Add red Chilli powder and stir for few seconds
4. Add cut Cauliflower and potato
5. Add a bit of asafetida gum/powder mixed in a spoon of water
6. Add salt to taste
7. Cover with a lid, occasionally stir. Do NOT add water
8. Wait till the mix roasts a bit

That's it!
