Cauliflower Jeeren Meerin (Cauliflower with Cumin and Black Pepper)

Easy recipe, just stir fry then steam. I love this for turning cauliflower into a taste sensation with very few ingredients. It goes well with just plain rice and pickle for an easy evening meal or as an accompaniment to a meat dish.

Recipe:
1 cauliflower head, broken into florets and steamed till just tender, don't overcook.
2 tbsp of ghee (really adds to the flavour, but substitute with vegetable oil if you're watching those calories)
1 small onion, sliced
1 small tomato, sliced
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground pepper, plus extra for seasoning
1/2 tsp or to taste, salt

Method:

1. In a shallow pan, heat the ghee gently, and fry the sliced onion for about 3 minutes.
2. Add the tomato, fry for another 3 minutes.
3. Add the cumin and black pepper, stir and fry for 2 minutes or so.
4. Toss the steamed cauliflower florets into the pan, stir till well coated with the masala.
5. Season to taste. Add a couple twists of freshly ground pepper. Serve!
