Follow The Directions

01

Step

Heat oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add mustard seeds and cover the skillet. Cook until the seeds stop popping (2-3 minutes).

02

Step

Add chopped onion to the skillet. Cook and stir over low heat until translucent (about 10 minutes).

03

Step

Mix minced garlic, slivered fresh ginger, ground turmeric, chile powder, and salt into the onion mixture. Cook and stir for 30 seconds.

04

Step

Add cauliflower florets to the skillet. Cook and stir for 1 minute. Transfer the cauliflower mixture to a microwave-safe bowl and cover.

05

Step

Microwave the covered cauliflower until tender (about 3 minutes).

06

Step

Drizzle lemon juice over the cooked cauliflower before serving.

For a milder flavor, omit the chile powder or reduce the amount to your preference.
Adjust the salt according to your taste.
Ensure the microwave-safe bowl is properly covered to trap steam and ensure even cooking.
Serve hot as a side dish or as part of a vegetarian meal.
