  • 1 small head cauliflower
  • ¼ + ½ cup cooking oil divided
  • 1 big onion
  • 2 medium tomatoes
  • 4 tablespoons ginger- garlic paste
  • 2 black cardamom
  • 3 green cardamom
  • 5 cloves
  • ¼ teaspoon peppercorns
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • ½ teaspoon red chilli powder
  • 1 tablespoon coriander powder
  • ½ + ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 " ginger piece julienned (for garnishing)
  • 2 sprigs cilantro chopped (for garnishing)
  • 2-3 green chillies for garnishing
  • salt to taste

Instructions

Prep:

  • Slice the onion finely and chop the tomatoes. Keep aside.
  • Cut the cauliflower in small florets. Heat ¼ cup oil in a skillet and add the cauliflower along with ½ teaspoon turmeric powder. Shallow fry on medium to high heat for 3-4 minutes or until the cauliflower is crisp. Keep aside.

Cook:

  • Turn on the IP to saute mode and add ½ cup oil to the pot. Tip in the whole spices followed by the sliced onions.
  • Fry onions until golden brown.
  • Add the ginger-garlic paste, tomatoes, powdered spices and salt. Saute for 10 minutes, adding water as required to keep the masala from burning.
  • Add the mutton or lamb along with a cup of water and saute for another 10 minutes.
  • Add one more cup water, set to manual (pressure cooking mode), lock the lid and set the timer to 15 minutes.
  • After the pressure releases, open the pot and add the fried cauliflower florets. Switch again to saute mode and cook for 5-7 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender.
  • Garnish with ginger, green chillies and cilantro. Serve hot with naan.

Notes

  1. Choose the reddest and ripest tomatoes you can find. It makes for a visually appealing curry.
  2. Don't multitask while frying the onions. They burn quickly if left unattended.
