Directions:

  6. In another pan, heat oil on medium heat. Add the coarsely chopped onion, garlic, ginger and sauté for 5 minutes till onion turns transparent.
  7. Add coarsely chopped tomato and all spice powder except Kasturi methi. Cook until tomato turns soft.
  8. Turn off the heat and let the masala mixture cool completely.
  9. Then blend the cooled masala mixture along with soaked cashews until smooth paste in a blender.
  10. Pour this paste into the same pan and cook again on medium heat for 10 minutes on medium heat.
  11. Add little water if the sauce gets too thick. Now add Kasturi methi, stir well and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  12. In the meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 deg F. Put the cauliflower (head facing upwards) in a baking dish and coat the cauliflower with the masala and ensure that the whole cauliflower is well coated. Bake for 30 minutes and by the time the cauliflower starts to brown.
