NEPALESE CAULIFLOWER CURRY {MISAYEKO TARKARI}

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl, toss the chopped potato with the olive oil and microwave for 2 minutes. Stir and test the potatoes ... if not done, microwave for 2 - 3 minutes more. Set aside.
• In a large saute pan over medium heat, add the oil and butter and let the butter melt. Add the bay leaves, cumin, coriander, turmeric, curry powder and cinnamon and let the spices "toast" in the butter for a few minutes, until they are very fragrant.
• Add the ginger, garlic and onion and saute until the onion is soft and translucent. Stir in the potato,carrot, cauliflower, and tomatoes. Cook and stir for about 5 - 10 minutes, until the cauliflower is tender. Stir in the peas, honey and salt, just until the peas are warm. Add the cayenne powder to taste, or stir in some chopped hot peppers. Stir in the cilantro just before serving and sprinkle some more over top. Serve over hot basmati rice (or just eat it).
