Instructions
- Remove any outer leaves from the cauliflower head. Then put the cauliflower on a plate facing the stem upwards. Using a knife, cut the extra stem in such a way that cauliflower can sit straight at base facing the florets upwards.
- Chop coarsely onion, ginger, garlic, tomato separately. Keep aside. Soak the cashews in water.
- In a pan boil enough water along with salt and turmeric powder. Gently drop the whole head cauliflower (head facing upwards) in the boiling water and boil for 5 minutes. Then flip it (head facing downwards) and again boil for 5 minutes.
- Strain the cauliflower and keep aside. In another pan, heat oil on medium heat. Add the coarsely chopped onion, garlic, ginger and sauté for 5 minutes till onion turns transparent.
- Next add coarsely chopped tomato and all spice powder except kasoori methi. Cook until tomato turns soft. Turn off the heat and let the masala mixture cool completely.
- Then blend the cooled masala mixture along with soaked cashews until smooth paste in a blender. Pour this paste into the same pan and cook again on medium heat for 5-10 minutes. Add little water if the sauce gets too thick.
- Now add kasoori methi, stir well and cook for another 5 minutes. In the meanwhile, preheat oven to 200 deg C.
