Here's a simple but tasty way to have Cauliflower. (I did not use cashew nuts as did not have any)

• 1 cup of cauliflower florets
• 1 ½ onion finely chopped
• 1 ½ tomato finely chopped
• 2tsp cilantro
• 2tsp yogurt
• Spice Powder: 1 tsp of Red chili powder and Coriander powder.½ tsp of turmeric and cumin powder.
• Grind: 1 tsp poppy seeds and 2 tsp of cashews grind to a fine paste
• Grind: 3 pods of Garlic, 2 green chilies and a small piece of ginger grind to a fine paste
• Salt for taste
Method

Heat oil in a pan and add the chopped onions and sauté till golden brown.

Add ginger, garlic, green chili paste and sauté them. Add the chopped tomatoes and sauté for 2 minutes. Add all the spice powders red chili powders, coriander powder, turmeric a, cumin powder, salt and cook till the tomatoes absorbs the flavor.

Add the yogurt and sauté till the yogurt is well blended. Now add the cauliflower florets and sauté them well turning all sides to coat the masala and cook them covered for 2 minutes.

Add the cashew poppy seed paste and ½ cup of water. Cook them covered for 5-6 minutes.

    Oh, that sounds good, thanks! It's very different than the cauliflower curry I usually make, so that means I can eat cauliflower curry twice as often without getting tired of it :)

    I don't have cashews, but I have some leftover almonds and pecans that might work.

    What kind of chilis do you use?

    I don't use the green chillies that are in the recipe but red chilli usually or I have some very hot homegrown ones in the freezer that I use also. Not too much tho as they would overpower the dish!
