Advice
Cut cauliflower larger than potatoes — florets cook faster and stay tender-crisp while potatoes finish through.
Why it works: Bigger florets prevent overcooking; brief covered steam softens veg, then an uncovered dry fry builds browned, toasty spice notes.
Twist: Add ½ tsp garam masala at the end for warmth, or stir in a handful of peas for color and sweetness.
