• 1 tbsp chopped green coriander for garnishing

• Cut onion and garlic into thin slices and grate the ginger. 
• Wash the cauliflower and make small slits in it from base as well as top but don't cut it. 
• Heat oil in a deep pan. Coarsely crush the cardamom and cloves and add it to oil along with the bay leaves. 
• When they turn brown, add sliced onions and garlic and fry them till golden brown and then add turmeric. 
• Now add red chilli powder, garam masala, salt, grated ginger and tomatoes and fry them for a minute. 
• Now place the cauliflower and gently spread the masala evenly over it wit h the help of a spatula and place a tightly covered lid over it and reduce the heat to low. 
• Don't add water, there will be enough water for the cauliflower to be cooked if the lid is tight enough so that vapours don't escape. Stir it occasionally and gently till the cauliflower is cooked. 20-30 min approx.
