Cauliflower and Spinach (Gobi Palak)

• 1 head cauliflower- cut into florets
• 1 cup frozen chopped spinach
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 cup onion, chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 inch piece ginger, minced
• 1 cup crushed tomatoes
• 2 teaspoons coriander powder
• 2 teaspoons salt- or to taste
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped

In a large and deep pan, heat the olive oil. Add the cumin seeds and cook for a minute on medium heat. Add the onion, garlic and ginger. Saute on medium heat for 5-7 minutes, till golden brown. Add the crushed tomatoes and cook on medium heat for another 5 minutes. Add the coriander powder, salt and turmeric- mix well. Add the spinach and sauté with the onion and tomato mixture on medium high heat- to evaporate the water from the spinach, for at least 5 minutes. Next add the cauliflower florets and mix well. Lower the heat and cover the pan. Cook for about 15 minutes or till the cauliflower is tender and cooked. Take lid off; turn the heat up to medium high and sauté for about 5 minutes- again, to evaporate the water. Top it off with the garam masala and cilantro.
