Method:

  • Wash and clean the cauliflower florets. I generally do not blach the cauliflowers which we get here ad it will get mashed while cooking. I wash it twice in hot water.

  • You can dip this cauliflower in hot water for 2 minutes and pat dry them completely.

  • If the yogurt is not thick put this in a tea strainer and keep it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.

  • Mix the yogurt, fennel powder, red chilli powder and salt together into a paste. Add food colour,if adding, at this stage.
