Broccoli cauliflower pepper fry

Melt the ghee in a pan over medium heat.

Add the cumin seeds and let them splutter.

Add the cauliflower with the turmeric and the hing (optional; or finely chopped garlic).

Stir on medium-high heat and season with half a teaspoon of salt.

Add a splash of water, cover and cook on medium heat 5 minutes; crush the black peppercorns meanwhile.

Add the broccoli with another half teaspoon of salt; broccoli goes in later because it gets tender faster than cauliflower and would turn mushy.

Cover on medium heat 3 minutes.

Add the frozen green peas, then the gram flour, which absorbs remaining moisture and adds a nutty flavor.

Add the ground coriander, cover on medium-low heat 3 more minutes until tender; give it more minutes if needed without letting it turn mushy, and stir little so the florets stay intact.

Add one heaped teaspoon of the crushed black pepper and finish with a sprinkle of lemon juice.
