Mustard Greens with Cauliflower Florets


Serves: 4
Total Calories: 100

Ingredients

2 large bunches mustard greens (about 1 1/2 pounds), trimmed and coarsely chopped
1 small bunch spinach (about 8 ounces), trimmed and coarsely chopped
1 to 1 1/2 cup water
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
6 to 8 quarter-size slices peeled fresh ginger
2 cloves fresh garlic (large), peeled
1 fresh green chili pepper, such as serrano, stemmed
1 large tomato, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons cornmeal
2 tablespoons corn or mustard oil, or melted ghee
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 tablespoon coaresly ground coriander
1 teaspoon dried fenugreek leaves
1 teaspoon Garam Masala
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 small head cauliflower (about 1 pound), cut into 1 1/2-inch florets
1/2 cup nonfat plain yogurt, whisked until smooth
1 tablespoon whipped unsalted butter or nonfat sour cream

Directions:

1. Place the mustard greens and spinach in a large nonstick wok or saucepan and add 1 cup water. Cook over medium-high heat until wilted, about 5 minutes. Let cool, then coarsely process in the food processor.

2. In the same work bowl, process together the onion, ginger, garlic, and green chili pepper until minced. Transfer to a bowl. Then purée the tomato and cornmeal.

3. In a separate large nonstick saucepan, heat the oil (or ghee) over medium-high heat and add the cumin seeds they should sizzle upon contact with the hot oil. Quickly add the onion-ginger mixture and stir until golden, about 5 minutes. Add the pureed tomato and cook, stirring, until most of the juices evaporate, about 3 minutes. Stir in the coriander, fenugreek leaves, garam masala, turmeric, and salt, then add the cauliflower florets and cook, stirring, over medium heat, about 5minutes.

4. Add the yogurt, a little at a time, stirring constantly to prevent it from curdling. Cover the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until the florets are crisp-tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Add the pureed greens and continue to simmer until the florets are soft and the greens are smooth and creamy, adding up to 1/2 cup more water, if needed, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish, swirl in the butter (or sour cream), and serve.
