become soft and mushy. Add 1 teaspoon turmeric powder, 

1 teaspoon red chilli powder, 1 teaspoon coriander powder 

and salt according to taste. Mix well and cook the masala 

until the oil starts separating from the sides.

Add cauliflower first and cook for 3 to 4 minutes so they 

absorb the spices.

 Mix everything gently so the vegetables are well coated

 with the masala.




Add some dropsof water, cover the pan, and let it 

cook on low heat for 15 to 20 minutes.

Finally, sprinkle ½ teaspoon garam masala and mix lightly. 

Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves. 

Serve hot with roti, chapati, naan, or steamed rice.
