Ingredients

Below is the complete ingredient list to make pepper fry cauliflower. It requires minimal ingredients and tastes awesome!

Cauliflower – good quality cauliflower is required. I am using fresh cauliflower in this recipe. You can use frozen cauliflower as well. It is totally fine.

Potatoes -I have used all-purpose white potatoes here. I love the combo of cauliflower and potatoes but you can completely avoid potatoes.

Oil – any neutral oil like canola, or sunflower oil. I suggest not using olive oil as olive oil has its own fragrance which I usually avoid in this particular recipe.

Garlic and Ginger – add a distinct flavor to the recipe.

Salt and pepper – VERY IMPORTANT 😉
