Notes

  1. Add oil any time if you feel it is less. At the same time can remove some of the oil, while shallow frying cauliflower florets and potatoes, if you find it much.
  2. Before adding water, check the cauliflower florets. They were partly cooked due to shallow frying and now will be crunchy being partly cooked. Few like as it is but some people find it raw and cooks florets further to make them little tender. So this is for you to decide you like cauliflower florets like they are now or want to cook further. We cooked them further but still keeping them little crunchy. Choice is yours.
  3. In case of non availability of dry mango powder, you can add lemon juice too. However you can completely skip them.
