5 T. vegetable oil
1 t. whole cumin seeds
1 t. ground cumin seeds
2 t. ground coriander seeds
2 t. ground turmeric
1/4 t. cayenne pepper
2 -1 fresh, hot chilli, finely chopped (opt.)
2 t. ground roasted cumin seeds
1 + t. salt
Pepper
Boil potatoes whole and cool (Day-old are fine).  Peel, if desired and cut into 3/4@ dice. Break up cauliflower into chunky flowerets (1 2 @ across & 1 2 @ long). Soak 30 min. Heat oil, preferably in non-stick skillet, medium.  When hot add cumin seeds and sizzle 3-4 seconds. Add cauliflower. stir 2 minutes.  Let brown in spots.  cover, turn to low and simmer 4-6 minutes until cauliflower almost done.  Put in rest.  Stir gently.  Cook uncovered on low 3 minutes, until potatoes heated through.
