Cauliflower with pea and potatoes in a brown gravy
I labored over this dish a bit but the results were worth it. There are some dishes worth laboring over and a good gravy for a vegetable dish is worth it. Brown gravies work very well with sturdy vegetables like cauliflower. Labour a bit over the browning of the onions which can take you as long as fifteen minutes but I can assure you this is a dish worth putting on any table.
Few Tips
-
The dish needs be a deep brown colour. Make sure you brown the onions in a tea spoon of oil stirring it constantly on high flame.
-
Here is a way to cheat with creating a deep brown colour. Take a tea bag and boil it in a cup of water. Add this to the dish after the masala goes into the pot. Don’t worry your dish wont taste like tea. This is a great hack
-
I used chole masala which I had bought before the lock down. It’s a good one from a company called Table Spoon ™ – Delhi Chole Masala. I found this a bit pricy at Rs 79 for 100 grams but very good in quality. Alternatively use any Chole masala you have.

Break the cauliflower into bite sized florets and let it soak for ten minutes in salted water. This takes care of any creepy crawlies that are hidden in the cauliflower

Hello Fr Warner
I would also like to suggest that adding pomegranate seeds also gives a crunchy taste. This can be done at the time of tempering.
My daughter and me tried the recipe. It came out yum. Except we had to keep it longer on the gas and the veggies were still nice and crunchy.😃
Thank you for the wonderful recipes you share…this seems Yum, I’m going to try very soon
Thank you Fr. Warner
Thank you Fr. Warner for sharing food for the soul & the stomach both are totally enriching. I have tried the karela with potatoes and dry prawns and every time I have prepared, it has been a hit. Today I’m going to try the cauliflower with peas & potatoes and I’m sure it will be awesome. Thanks again for all your tried and tested recipes. God bless you
As decided I tried the recipe everything is perfect the color, smoothness of the gracy and cauliflower and potato cooked just right but in taste it’s missing that wow factor. I’m guess it’s the chole masala. Here in Kuwait I had bought Everest chole masala during the lockdown last year so I guess it lost its full power. But it’s worth the effort as you said Fr. Warner. Thank you
Hello Fr.,
P!ease provide an alternative to chole masala.
