This is one of the easiest dishes to make except for the time to clean and cut cauliflower.
Ingredients (about 2 - 3 servings):
Cauliflower - 1 big, washed and cut into small florets
Cooking oil - 1.5 tablespoons
Mustard seeds - 1/2 teaspoon
Urad dhal - 1 teaspoon
Asafoetida - a couple of pinches
Red chilli powder - 1 teaspoon (vary this to suit your taste)
Salt to taste
Procedure:
1. In a wide pan, heat some cooking oil, pop mustard seeds, add the urad dhal and asafoetida and fry until the urad dhal turns light golden brown in color.
2. To step 1, add the cut cauliflower florets, mix everything well and fry on medium high heat for about 3 - 4 minutes with constant stirring.
3. Once the cauliflower starts browning, add some red chilli powder and salt and fry until it gets cooked and turns nice and crispy. Turn off the stove.
A good variation would be to add about a handful of chopped onions to step 1 and fry them until golden brown before moving on to step 2. You can also add some chopped potatoes along with the cauliflower florets.
Tip:
I have noticed that separating the florets by hand instead of chopping them using a knife keeps them intact during the cooking process and that way I can cut them to the size I desire.
This goes a side dish with rice and sambar/rasam/plain yogurt. I even have it as a snack sometimes.

Cauliflower fry makes me drool Anu. Looks delicious and yummy!
Simply superb. I always love this kind of easy to make recipes. Cauliflower looks so crispy.
Cauliflower has to rank among my favourites, to sample that is. The variations are all inviting to the palate. Good idea to separate the florets by hand rather than slice them beforehand.
Simple and delish....thank you for the tip...
Delicious Anu.. I love cauliflower too, this is a easy and quick way of doing it!! But I add pepper powder, instead of red chilli powder! Will try this one next time :)
Looks very crispy and yummy...its kind of hard for me to perfect cauliflower dish...I either end up making them mushy or undercooked. This looks so nice:) will give a try soon.
@ Mythreyi Dilip, Viki's Kitchen, Anil P, Kitchen Flavors, Rohini, Malar Gandhi, SriLekha: Thank you guys :-). Rohini, even I make another version of this using pepper powder instead of chilli powder. Must say that it has its own wonderful taste.
I too make almost the same way..for my children at least once a week for curd rice(packed lunch off to school)..

Cauliflower prevent colon cancer and contributes significant amounts of iron. It also contains vitamins E and C. I like to eat it at least twice per week and i love the taste. I like cauliflower in salad or another kind of recipes.
