Method

  • Boil cauliflower, peas and carrots until they become soft. Drain out excess water. Heat butter in a pan and saute the nigella seeds, onions, chillies, garlic and the peppers and cook for a few minutes.
  • Add the tomatoes and simmer for a further 10 minutes. Add the spices and the rest of the boiled vegetables including the mashed potatoes. Season with salt to taste.
  • Cook through and mash the entire mixture with a potato masher when it is boiling. If it becomes too thick, just add a little water. When ready, add a generous knob of butter and stir through.
  • To serve, sprinkle with the chopped coriander and some chopped onion. Serve with Indian bread and lemon wedges.
