Be careful of hot steam and splashing water when draining the boiled cauliflower.

Heat 1 glass (approx 250 ml) water in a pot. Add 250g cut cauliflower florets and 0.5 tsp salt. Bring to a boil, then turn off heat and drain the water completely.

Boil only until the water comes to a single boil, over-boiling will make the florets break while frying.

In a small blender jar, add 1 tsp coriander seeds, 1 tsp cumin seeds, 0.25 tsp black pepper powder, 1 sliced onion, 2 inch ginger piece, 2 green chillies, 9 garlic cloves, and 3 tbsp water. Blend into a fine smooth paste.

Watch out

Add just enough water to blend, adding too much water will make the paste runny and slow down frying.
