Steps:
- Clean cauliflower and chop the florets to desired sizes. Optional - heat 3 cups water in a large bowl, add cauliflower florets to the slightly hot water. Leave it for some time. Rinse them under running water and drain them.
- Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard and cumin. When they begin to sizzle add the curry leaves and fry for 30 seconds.
- Add onions and green chilli. Saute until pink or golden.
- Stir in ginger garlic and saute till a nice aroma comes out for about 30 to 60 seconds.
- Then add tomatoes and salt. Saute until the tomatoes turn soft and mushy.
- Add turmeric, red chilli powder, garam masala and coriander powder. Saute for 30 to 60 seconds until the masala smells aromatic.
- Then add cauliflower florets and saute for 1 to 2 mins.
- Pour ½ to 1 cup water or coconut milk and give a good mix. I used 1 cup water at this step. Young cauliflower releases lots of moisture, so be careful not to add a lot of water at one time.
- Cover and cook until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
- If needed add more water or coconut milk to bring the curry to a desired consistency. I added half cup coconut milk at this stage.
- Taste the curry and add more salt if needed. Garnish cauliflower curry with coriander leaves.

Tips:
- Choose the right cauliflower: A firm, white cauliflower with tightly packed florets is best for this dish.
- Cut the cauliflower into uniform florets: This will help them cook evenly.
- Roast the cauliflower before adding it to the curry: This will give it a slightly smoky flavor and help it hold its shape.
- Use a good quality curry powder: The curry powder is the key to the flavor of this dish, so make sure to use a good quality one.
- Don't be afraid to adjust the spices to your liking: If you like your curry mild, use less chili powder. If you like it spicy, add more.
- Serve the curry with rice or naan: This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.
