The colorful combination of cauliflower and peppers in this Gobhi-Mirch Subji recipe makes it a feast for the eyes and the palate. As Sunita Devi, I've adapted this traditional Indian dish into a wholesome, vegan-friendly option that's ready in just 25 minutes. The original recipe, rich in spices and flavor, has been optimized to retain its authentic taste while being mindful of health. The traditional version uses standard vegetable oil, which we've retained as an option, but you can also choose healthier alternatives like avocado oil or ghee for added nutrition. This dish is not only vegan but also gluten-free, making it suitable for various dietary needs. The nutritional information provided indicates it's low in calories and saturated fat, with a good balance of carbohydrates, protein, and fiber.

Main Ingredients

3 cups cauliflower, divided into 1-inch florets
3 cups green, yellow, and red peppers, cut into 1-inch squares

For Cooking

2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
1⁄4 teaspoon asafetida powder
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 cup onion, 1/4-inch thick slices
1 tablespoon ginger, peeled and grated
½ teaspoon turmeric
¾ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground coriander
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
½ teaspoon amchur, or 2 teaspoons lime juice

Cooking Method

Preparation

In a bowl, mix cauliflower and peppers. Set aside.

Step 1

Cooking

Heat oil in a heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Be cautious as the oil may splatter.

Step 2

Add asafetida and cumin seeds, and cook for a few seconds until seeds are golden brown. Stir constantly to prevent burning.

Step 3

Add onion and fry for 1 to 2 minutes until transparent. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Stir in ginger. Cook for a brief moment until the aroma is released.

Add the mixed vegetables and stir. Sprinkle with turmeric, salt, coriander, and cayenne pepper. Stir in a lifting and turning motion for 2 to 3 minutes, coating the vegetables with the spices.

Cover with the lid and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, until cauliflower is tender. Stir the vegetables a couple of times during cooking. If the vegetables are sticking to the bottom, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water.

Sprinkle amchur or lime juice over the cooked vegetables. Stir in a lifting and turning fashion to distribute evenly.

Transfer the cooked vegetables to a serving platter. Do not cover the vegetables to prevent them from becoming too soft.
