I first tasted this curry in my friend N's place. She said that she had got the recipe from Sanjeev kapoor's Punjabi cook book. So I guess the credit for this lovely recipe goes to the chef extraordinaire himself. The combination of Cauliflower,and Potatoes with the humble ginger gives out a flavor that is unique and pleasant. The fact that this curry can be made in a jiffy makes this recipe extra special.
