Notes

  • Blanching cauliflower in hot water , turmeric and salt is optional , but  I recommend as  cauliflower  has worms in it and has high amount of pesticides. If you are going for organic cauliflower than you can skip blanching ,cauliflower.
  • If poppy seeds are not available , alternatively you can use 3-4 whole cashews . In such case either increase red chili powder by 1/2 tsp or add 1 more green chili , less spice variant.
