How much water to put? Quantity not mentioned.
please let me know, for above mentioned quantity of cauliflower what proportion of water is needed. And for frozen cauliflower, will the process will change? or remain same.
waiting for your reply
Thanks
Shilpa: About 1/2 cup of water should be enough. Usually frozen vegetables cook much faster. So reduce the amount of water and cook on a medium flame. Keep checking every 5 mins or so to see if it has cooked.
Hi Shilpa ,
I tried this recipe yesterday . it did not come out very well . I added coriander powder and powdered cumin. the cumin was not very powdery though . did that make it go wrong.
If you add more or excess Coriander, your lips would go burst due its HOTness… like excess chilli burns one’s tongue…. so be careful in adding coriander in any vegetable.
Cauliflower have less water in them, so add say 3/4 cup, initially, cook on simmer for 10 mins with lid covered, check again and add little more water accordingly till the cauliflower becomes tender… the whole cooking should not take more than 20 mins. Cauliflower is better when eaten little dry i.e. moist with water…loose its appealing taste when it is with more water… in short, add limited & calibrated water enough to tender cauliflower.
I cook regularly and comes good. You can add Green Peas alongwith cauliflower to improve the yummy taste….
Note: better avoid cooking tomatoes with cauliflower…
try it by without adding water, add salt immediately after adding cauliflower to pan and cook on sim flame……..enjoy the taste……….
