Ingredients
  

  • 200 g cauliflower
  • 50 g paneer cut into small cubes
  • ¼ cup chopped onion
  • 1 tbsp peanuts
  • 1 tbsp ghee or butter or olive oil
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • ½ tsp mustard seeds
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds
  • ½ tsp turmeric powder
  • 5-6 fresh curry leaves
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
  • 1 tsp ginger paste
  • 1-2 finely chopped green chillis
  • ½ - ¾ tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Remove the green leafy parts of the cauliflower.
  • Soak the whole head in water for 5-10 minutes. If there are any creepy crawlies in the cauliflower, they will come out. However, its best to choose a complete white and clean head.
  • Wrap the cauliflower in a kitchen towel to allow the removal of access water.
  • Grate the cauliflower using a grater or in a food processor. If you're using the food processor then you will need to break the cauliflower into smaller florets. Process to a coarse texture like couscous or millet. This is called cauliflower rice.
  • Heat ghee, butter or olive oil in a wide pan over medium heat.
  • When the oil is hot, add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, curry leaves and peanuts.
  • Stir fry for 30 seconds or so.
  • Add onion and sauté till it becomes soft.
  • Add ginger paste and chopped green chilis.
  • Stir fry for a few seconds. Add turmeric powder. Mix well.
  • Add paneer cubes and let it cook for 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the cauliflower rice and salt.
  • Mix very well.
  • Cover the pan with a lid and lower the heat.
  • Cook the cauliflower till its done with a crunch and its not overcooked. This takes only 5-7 minutes.
  • Take the lid off, add lemon juice and chopped coriander. Mix well.
  • Serve immediately. Tastes best when its hot.
