Notes
Use fresh or frozen cauliflower florets for this recipe. If you are following a keto diet, skip the potatoes. You can also roast the veggies in the oven or fry them if you are in the mood to indulge. Adding spinach is optional. I like adding some greens in my curries (it's beneficial to include leafy vegetables in our day-to-day diet), but you can skip it if you want.
If using fresh methi leaves, add them instead of spinach. Add 2 cups of fresh leaves. If using dried fenugreek leaves, always add them towards the end and crush them between your palms before adding. That helps release the aroma and flavor of Kasuri methi. This is a dry sabzi, but you can add water or stock to make it a gravy.
You can prepare this dish in advance and store it in the fridge for 2-3 days.
