Directions: Boil the potatoes in their jackets and

potatoes that have been refrigerated work very well.)

1/2 inches acress at the head and about 1 1/2 inches
long. Soak the florets in a bowl of water for 30
minutes. Drain. Heat the oil an a large (preferably
non-stick) frying pan over a medium flame When hot,
put in the whole cumin seeds. Let the seeds sizzle for
3-4 seconds Now put in the cauliflower and stir it
about for 2 minutes. Let the cauli- flower brown in
spots. Cover, turn heat to low and simmer for about
4-6 minutes or until cualiflower is almost done but
still has a hint of crispness to it. Put in the diced
potatoes, ground cumin, coriander, turmeric,cayenne,
green chili,ground roast cumin, salt, and some black
pepper. Stir gently to mix. Continue to cook uncovered
on low heat for another 3 minutes or until pot- atoes
are heated through. Stir gently as you do so. This
delicious recipe is by Madhur Jaffrey from her BBC
book and series "Indian Cookery".She refers to it as a
"comfort food". It is extremely addic- tive, and you
always wish you had made more! Reheats well.
