Method
  • Crush the coconut with other ingredients. Then, blanch the cauliflower florets in warm water and salt for 5 minutes. Rinse under running water and drain water, grate using a grater. Transfer to a plate.
  • Heat oil in a kadai , splutter mustard seeds. Add green chilli and curry leaves. 
  • Then, slide grated cauliflower. Add turmeric, pepper and salt.Cook for 4-5minutes on low flame. Sprinkle some water. 
  • Finally, add crushed coconut mix.Add a tbsp of water in blender and mix. Toss and cook covered for 2-3 minutes, or till everything looks combined and free of moisture. Adjust salt if needed. 
  • Serve with steamed rice.



NOTES
* You can chop the floret small instead of grating, but I feel grating is quicker. 
* Cauliflower leaves out moisture when it starts to cook, so you may or may not need to add water when cooking.
