Onions-2

Oil/Ghee-5Tspn

Method:

1.  Cut the Cauliflower into Florets and discard the stem of it.  Soak it for 20 mins in salt and turmeric powder.  This will help to remove any bitterness or acetic taste if present.  In the meanwhile we can go ahead with the rest of the method.

2.  Boil the Onions and make a paste out of it.

3.  Put Oil/Ghee in a deep bottom pan, add whole garam masala, onion paste, Green Mirchi and let it fry in a slow flame till the paste slightly changes its colour.  Careful it shoud not burn! 

4.  Add Ginger Garlic Paste and Khus Khus Paste and fry for a while. 

5.  Now add the Cauliflower Florets and mix well along with the gravy and add enough water till the paste gets mixed into it well without forming any lumps.

6.  Add Salt and then the Dry fruits.  Its up to you how you add them, you can cut them into small pieces and add or you may grind them into fine paste if you want or add them as they are.

7.  Boil it til the Cauliflower is almost done.

8.  Now add Garam Masala, Fresh Curd and Fresh Cream, reduce the flame and cook for 2-3 mins.

9.  Add Corriander Leaves and serve along with Roti's, Paratha's or Rice.

Useful Tip:  

1.  You can soak Khus Khus for some time in hot water and then make a paste of it, it will be easy.

2.  If you are a calorie counter person you can eat the curry without adding the Cream too.
