  • Roast the cauliflower for 20-25 minutes or until it is tender and slightly crispy.
  • While the cauliflower is roasting, prepare the bhaji sauce. In a small bowl, mix the cumin seeds, coriander powder, turmeric powder, ginger garlic paste, and red chili powder (if using) with 1 tablespoon of butter to make a paste.

  • Heat the ghee in a skillet over medium heat. Add pav bhaji masala and mix it real quick. This enhances the flavor of the bhaji. Add the spice paste now and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Now add the tomato puree and cook till the mixture thickens and the rawness of the tomatoes is gone.

  • Add the roasted cauliflower to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is heated through and the flavors are well combined. Use a potato masher to mash the vegetables and make the consistency just like a semi-thick curry.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot.
