2 - fresh chilies, minced (seeded to reduce heat)
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
2 - bay leaves
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 1/2 cups water

1 medium cauliflower, cut into florets

How To Make fried potatoes, cauliflower and paneer

Step 1

Heat the ghee in a medium-size saucepan over medium heat. Toss in the mustard seeds and cover the pot to prevent spattering. When the seeds stop popping, add the chilies, ginger, and bay leaves. Sautee for 30 seconds. Add the remaining powdered spices (except garam masala) and immediately add the water. Bring to a boil, then lover heat and gently simmer.

Step 2

Make sure the potatoes, paneer and cauliflower are nice and dry. While the spice mixture is simmering, deep fry (separately), the potato cubes and the cheese cubes until they are golden brown - drain well on paper towels. Deep-fry the cauliflower until they are lightly browned and partially cooked. Add the cauliflower to the spice mixture, cover and continue cooking over low heat approximately 5 minutes.
Step 3

Add potatoes and cheese cubes, stirring once, and cook for 2-3 minutes more, until all ingredients are heated through. Season with salt and garam masala and sprinkle in the chopped cilantro leaves. Mix well and serve hot.
