Cooking Method
Preparation
In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower florets and pepper squares. Mix well and set aside.
Cooking
Heat 2 tablespoons of canola or vegetable oil in a heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add 1⁄4 teaspoon of asafetida powder and 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds to the hot oil. Cook for a few seconds until the cumin seeds are golden brown.
Add 1 cup of onion slices to the skillet and fry for 1 to 2 minutes until they are transparent.
Stir in 1 tablespoon of grated ginger and cook for another minute.
Add the mixed vegetables (cauliflower and peppers) to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Sprinkle ½ teaspoon of turmeric, ¾ teaspoon of salt, 2 teaspoons of ground coriander, and ½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper (or to taste) over the vegetables. Stir in a lifting and turning motion for 2 to 3 minutes, coating the vegetables with the spices.
Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender. Stir the vegetables a couple of times to prevent burning.
If the vegetables start sticking to the bottom of the skillet, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water.
Sprinkle ½ teaspoon of amchur (or 2 teaspoons of lime juice) over the vegetables and stir well.
Transfer the Cauliflower and Peppers to a serving platter. Do not cover the vegetables, as they will continue to cook and become too soft.
