Step-by-Step Instructions

Cut the cauliflower into small florets and peel and dice the potatoes into small, even pieces so they cook at the same rate.

Place the cauliflower florets in hot water for 5 minutes, then drain well. This helps clean and slightly soften the cauliflower before stir-frying.

Heat the oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds and let them splutter, then add the sliced green chilies and cook briefly until fragrant.

Add the potatoes and cauliflower to the pan. Season with salt, then add the grated coconut and chopped coriander leaves. Stir well, cover, and cook on low heat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Do not add water.
