Cauliflower is a real treat for vegetarians. It is an extremely healthy vegetable that is very rich in nutrients. Cauliflower Poriyal is like any any other  south indian poriyal where we cook the vegetable and mix with tempering and finally garnish with grated coconut.Cauliflower contains a high amount of fiber, which is important for digestive health.

Few tips to make Cauliflower Poriyal

  • Blanching - While blanching the cauliflower, bring the water to boil and switch off the flame. Then add the cauliflower florets and cover the pan and leave it for about 10 minutes. This will help to get tender cauliflower without overcooking
  • Cooking Cauliflower - After blanching check if the cauliflower is cooked or not. The cauliflower would have been cooked nicely in the blanching process itself. Hence we don't need to cook this further after adding the masalas. Just mix the vegetables and leave it for about 2 minutes. If you feel cauliflower is not cooked yet, then you may want to sprinkle some water and cover the pan and allow it to cooke fore another 3-5 minutes in a low- medium flame.
