Simple Stir-Fried Cauliflower - Bhaja Phool Kopi

 

Bhaja Phool Kopi

Cauliflower ranks at the top of my list of favourite vegetables. I like this recipe because the true taste of the cauliflower comes through since its made with minimal spices and cooked until al dente. Be free to chop and fry onions and garlic until golden brown, but my shortcut is to use ready made deep-fried onions and garlic. The cauliflower is seasoned very simply with turmeric, salt and roasted cumin seed powder. 

Serve with chapatis, pilau or biryani and raita.

Smelts Cooked with Unripe Mangoes


Smelts with Unripe Mangoes

Mango Fish reminds me of our life in Rangoon (now known as Yangon). Mum made this dish with Topshe Mach or Mango Fish at the start of the mango season when green, unripe mangoes are plentiful. In North America, frozen, unripe mangoes are available in Bangladeshi markets. I've made this with smelts, but any filleted fish or fish steaks can be used in this recipe.
