#299 tomato braised cauliflower

1 head cauliflower (diced small)
canola oil
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp cumin seeds
2 jalapeno peppers (minced)
1 inch fresh ginger (minced)
1 tbsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp tumeric
1 tsp salt
1 can diced tomatoes
handful of chopped fresh cilantro

Heat 2-3 tbsp oil in a large dutch oven, add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, jalapeno and ginger and fry until mustard seeds pop. Add cauliflower, tumeric, salt and coriander and stir. Add tomatoes and cover, simmer over low heat ~20-30 mins until cauliflower is cooked to the desired tenderness (longer if you want it to mash up a bit). Serve with cilantro.
