Ok...we'll just call this dish Potatoes & Cauliflower Indian Style!


Ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon mustard seed
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 pinch ground turmeric
• 1 hot green pepper, split down its length (optional)
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
• 1 potato, cubed
• 1 head cauliflower, broken into small florets
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• salt to taste

Directions:

1. Heat oil over a medium-high heat. Toss in the mustard seeds; when they start spluttering, add cumin seeds, turmeric powder and the green pepper. Add the chopped ginger. Stir and saute for a few minutes.
2. Add the potato, cauliflower florets, sugar and salt; stir well and cook until the potatoes are cooked and the cauliflower tender yet crunchy. (For a crunchier cauliflower, add it when the potatoes are just getting done but not quite finished cooking).
