Method

1) Boil a bowl of water and remove the bowl from fire.
2) Soak cauliflower florets in the hot water. Remove in 1 minute to prevent the florets from cooking. This is done to remove any hidden worms or insects from the cauliflower
3) Take a Kadai. Heat 2-3 table spoons of oil.
4) Crackle the mustard seeds.
5) Once the mustard seeds crackle, fry the onions.
6) As soon as the onions get transaparent, fry the garlic and the green chillies.
7) As soon as you get the aroma, add the florets with couple of teaspoons of water and cover the kadai with a lid, so that the florets cook.
8) Remove from lid to see if the florets have cooked. Add the paste in and make sure all the florets have cooked.
