Heat the oil in a big pan or wok with a lid, then add the ginger and spices. Swirl everything around for a few secs until the spices are aromatic. Reduce the heat, then stir in the cauliflower and some seasoning. Put the lid on and cook for 10 mins or until softened, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle over the coriander before serving.

It made for a reasonably nice dish in the end. I had to add water though to help steam it, as despite using a large pan, the cauliflower was still very firm after the recommended cooking time. Initially it was a little bland, but when having leftovers the next day, the flavours had developed more…

Loved it! Simply loved it! I am not a big fan of cauliflower but with this recipe, I really enjoyed it. I only added one unit of chilli flakes, otherwise it is too spicy for me.

A bit less Cumin and don't stint on the Coriander. I added a small amount of water whilst cooking to help steam and absorb the flavour. I used 1 fresh chilli which was a but too little.
