Recipe: Glazed Cauliflower with Ginger (using chile pepper and cilantro)

GLAZED CAULIFLOWER WITH GINGER

1 small head cauliflower
4 tbsp vegetable oil, divided use
1 tsp coriander seeds
1 1/2 tbsp shredded fresh ginger
2 green chilies, chopped
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp lemon juice
2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro

Separate cauliflower into flowerets. Wash well and drain.

Heat 3 tablespoons oil over high heat in a skillet. When very hot, add coriander seeds and fry for 10 seconds. Add ginger and chilies and stir for a couple of seconds. Immediately add turmeric and salt. Follow at once with the cauliflower. Stir rapidly to prevent burning and to distribute the spices.

Add 1/4 cup hot water. Reduce heat, cover and cook for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring once or twice during the cooking.

Increase heat to medium and stir fry to evaporate remaining moisture and to lightly brown the cauliflower, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir carefully. If vegetable looks dry, stir in the rest of the oil.

Add lemon juice and cilantro. Serve immediately.
