1 small head (approx 500 g) of cauliflower, cut into bite sized florets
4 potatoes, parboiled and peeled and cut into 1 inch chunks (I used baking potatoes but I am sure you can use any, just make sure you parboil them so they are partially cooked but still firm)
1 t ground turmeric
4 T vegetable oil
4 cloves
2 green cardamom pods
1 2-3 inch cinnamon stick
2 bay leaves
1 T minced or grated fresh ginger
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 medium-large onions, finely chopped
1 t cayenne or paprika
2 t ground cumin
1 t sugar (I accidentally left out)
3 oranges–remove the zest with a peeler (be sure not to peel the white) and then peel the oranges and cut them into bite sized segments
fresh green chile peppers, to taste, minced
salt to taste
Instructions
Place the cauliflower and parboiled and prepped potatoes in a large bowl. Toss with the turmeric until evenly coated. Set aside.
Heat the oil in a large, heavy pan over high heat. Add the cauliflower and potatoes and stir fry for 2-3 minutes, until they are lightly browned. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Add the bay leaves, cloves, green cardamom pods and cinnamon stick to the oil in the pan (add a little more oil if you need to). Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the onions with a pinch of salt and cook for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and fry for another 3 minutes. Add the orange peel, sugar, ground ginger, cayenne or paprika, and cumin. Toss to coat–be sure that the spices to not burn–add a few teaspoons of water if need be. Cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the cauliflower and potatoes back into the pan. Toss to mix with a pinch of salt to taste. Add ⅔ of the bite sized orange segments. Add ½ cup of water and mix well. Cover the lid and reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Simmer for 15 minutes.
About 5 minutes before the dish is cooked, add the green chile pepper ((I left out because my kids cannot take heat). Taste for additional salt. Before serving garnish with the remaining orange segments.
