A vibrant and flavorful Indian-inspired dish featuring tender potatoes and perfectly cooked cauliflower, infused with aromatic spices. Serve with warm roti or naan for a satisfying meal.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. (1 minute)
Add the mustard seeds and wait until they begin to splutter, then add the asafoetida, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, and the split green pepper. (1 minute)
Introduce the chopped tomatoes and minced ginger to the pan. Stir well and sauté for a few minutes until the tomatoes soften and release their juices. (5 minutes)
Incorporate the cubed potato, cauliflower florets, sugar, and salt. Stir everything thoroughly to combine the spices and vegetables. (2 minutes)
Cover the pan and cook until the potatoes are cooked through and the cauliflower is tender yet still slightly crunchy. For a crisper cauliflower, add it to the pan when the potatoes are nearly done but not fully cooked. (15-20 minutes)
