Cauliflower with Tomato Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 medium head Cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 14.5 oz can Diced tomatoes
• 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Chili powder (or to taste)
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt (or to taste)
• 1 teaspoon Sugar (optional, to balance acidity)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

1. 1Wash the cauliflower and trim the outer leaves. Cut the cauliflower into florets, keeping some larger pieces for presentation.
2. 2Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and boil until tender-crisp, about 8-10 minutes. Drain well.
3. 3Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and grated ginger and sauté for another minute until fragrant. Add cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, and chili powder. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
4. 4Add tomato paste and diced tomatoes to the pan. Stir well to combine. Add salt and sugar (if using). Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
5. 5Arrange the boiled cauliflower florets upright on a serving dish. Spoon the warm tomato sauce generously over the cauliflower, ensuring the flower part is neatly covered. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.
