Cauliflower Curry

No one would ever describe cauliflower as "lame" after tasting it in this spicy dish! Serve it as part of an Indian meal, or with grilled fish, chicken, pork or lamb.

1 head cauliflower
1 carrot
2 Tablespoons butter and/or olive oil
1 small clove garlic
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon coriander
1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon mustard seeds
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 cup water
3/4 cup fresh or frozen peas

Wash the cauliflower and break it into bite-size floweretts.
Peel the carrot and cut it diagonally into half-inch slices.
Melt the butter and/or oil over medium heat in a large skillet (Use one that has a good lid.)
Crush the garlic into the butter, then stir in the salt and spices.
Cook and stir for about 1 minute, then add the cauliflower, carrots and water. Stir to coat the vegetables with the spice mixture, then cover tightly and allow the vegetables to steam until almost tender (5-7 minutes). Add the peas and cook another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve immediately.
Note: If you must, you can substitute 1-1/2 teaspoons of a commercial curry powder for the spices--but it won't taste as authentically Indian.
