Instructions

Heat the oil in a small Dutch oven or large saucepan over medium heat. After 90 seconds, when the oil is hot, add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds until they start to pop.
Add the diced red onion to the pan and sauté until the onions are translucent and slightly golden, about three to four minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the Kashmiri red chili powder, turmeric, asafetida, and diced tomatoes and minced green chilies in the pan. Sauté until the tomatoes begin to break down and become saucy, about three to five minutes.
Stir in the diced carrots and diced potatoes, peas, daliya (coarse bulgur).
Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low-medium and cover the pan. Let it simmer gently until the vegetables and daliya are tender, which should take about 25 minutes.
Halfway through the cooking, add the cauliflower florets to the pan. Continue to simmer until everything is cooked through and the water has been absorbed.
Stir in the lime juice, chopped cilantro, and salt to taste. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
Serve hot, optionally garnished with cilantro leaves, and slivered green chilies.

Notes

🥕 Consistent Chopparooo:
🥕
Achieve even cooking by cutting all vegetables into uniform sizes, especially carrots and potatoes. This ensures consistent cooking and evenly distributed flavors in every bite.
🌊 Cleanse the Bulgur:
🌊
Rinse the daliya (bulgur) under cold water using a fine mesh strainer until clear. This removes dust and excess starch, helping the grains cook individually without sticking.
🔥 Gentle Simmering:
🔥
Allow the dish to simmer slowly. This ensures that the bulgur and vegetables cook perfectly, enhancing the overall texture and flavor.
🧂 Final Flavor Tweaks:
🧂
Taste and adjust the seasonings once the Daliya is cooked. Personalize the flavor by adding more salt, seasonings, or water if needed to achieve the perfect consistency and taste.
