Cauliflower Kuzhambu / Cauliflower Gravy

DSC04999

Cauliflower kuzhambu is really a very good combination with rice and chapathi and it tastes heavenly. Whenever, I buy cauliflower, I reserve half of the cauliflower to prepare  Kuzhambu. Cauliflower florets soaked in this kulambu gravy will be tangy and very tasty. I finish most of the florets in the gravySmile with tongue out. Tastes simply superb and the fact is, it is a super easy recipe!  Rice, Cauliflower kuzhambu and simply a papad will make a good lunch combo.

Add curry leaves now and following it add tomatoes. Now add enough amount of salt and let the tomatoes become mushy. At this time add Kuzhambu Powder and 3 to 4 cups of water and mix well so that no lumps are found ( Otherwise, mix Kuzhambu Powder and water separately in a bowl and mix well without any lumps and add this to the cooker ).  Close the lid of the cooker and pressure cook it for 4 whistles in high flame.

Open the pressure cooker after the pressure is released, and the kuzhambu will be little watery at this stage. Now add cauliflower florets and tamarind water and mix well and again pressure cook it for one whistle. Once the pressure is released, open the cooker and bring it to boil ( if you find it still watery) to the kuzhambu consistency or to your desired consistency.

Cauliflower Kuzhambu is ready to serve! You can have this Cauliflower Kuzhambu with hot steamed rice and event with rotis and chapatis. I use the leftover Kuzhambu for the dinner as a side dish for Dosa too.

Amiitesh got up by 5.15am itself on that day and went to bed only by 11pm and he don't want to miss to play with his grand parents and uncles. He was very eager to cut the cake from the time we received it from the bakery. He looked so smart on that day and we had a blast of happiness.
