Prawn Cauliflower Potato Masala

One of the main ingredients of this recipe is my favorite seafish - prawn and the other main ingredient of mine is Cauliflower. The touch of the spices make this recipe great with addition of garlic, ginger and onion. I like to use onion paste in any gravy items as it adds thickness of the gravy. So, let us share - "Prawn Cauliflower Potato masala".

After washing the Cauliflower pieces you should boil them for 5 minutes in a pan taking sufficient water with one or two pieces of Bay leaves to avoid bad smell. Drain out the water, add turmeric powder and salt to the cauliflower and mix it well, keep them aside for 15 minutes and then start frying them till they become light brown. Remove them from the pan and keep separately.
