INGREDIENTS...

[1] 3 tablespoons vegetable oil.
[2] 1/4 teaspoon mustard seed.
[3] 1 pinch asafoetida powder.
[4] 1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds.
[5] 1 pinch ground turmeric.
[6] 1 hot green pepper, split down its length. (optional)
[7] 3 roma (plum) tomatoes, chopped.
[8] 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root.
[9] 1 potato, cubed.
[10] 1 head cauliflower, broken into small florets.
[11] 1/2 teaspoon white sugar.
[13] salt to taste.

DIRECTIONS....

Heat oil over a medium-high heat. Toss in the mustard seeds; when they start spluttering, add the asafoetida, followed by the cumin seeds, turmeric powder and the green pepper. Add the chopped tomatoes and ginger; stir and saute for a few minutes.

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).
