Always remember
One common problem most of the people face during this dish, when people cook it, the cauliflower becomes soggy and people don’t want that because that kind of spoils the taste and texture of this dish.
So, if you do not want your cauliflower to become soggy, then follow these steps.
- Before adding potatoes and cauliflower to the onion-tomato masala, half cook the cauliflower and potatoes(By boiling the potatoes and cauliflower or by frying potatoes and cauliflower in little oil till they are half cooked). I prefer frying.
- Cook on low flame only. Don’t cover and cook the cauliflower.
- Adding salt instantly on potatoes will prevent potatoes from cooking well. So, add salt when potatoes are almost done.
