Ingredients:

• 1 medium cauliflower, cut into tiny florets
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon fresh green chilies, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon red chili powder
• 1 bunch cilantro, chopped
• 1 1/4 teaspoons ground cumin
• 2 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
• 1 1/2 teaspoons garam masala
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• Salt to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare Cauliflower: Begin by cutting the cauliflower into tiny florets, ensuring they are bite-sized for even cooking.

2. Sauté Spices: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ginger puree and ground turmeric. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes until fragrant, adding a few drops of water if the mixture starts to stick to the pan.

3. Add Chili and Cilantro: Next, add the chopped green chilies, red chili powder, and chopped cilantro to the skillet. Stir-fry for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

4. Incorporate Cauliflower: Add the cauliflower florets to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the mixture starts to dry out, add a teaspoon of water to prevent burning.

5. Season and Simmer: Once the cauliflower is slightly tender, add the ground cumin, ground coriander, garam masala, lemon juice, and salt to taste. Also, pour in 4 tablespoons of water to create a sauce.

6. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and let the curry simmer for approximately 40 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and to prevent sticking.

7. Serve: Once the cauliflower is fork-tender and the flavors have melded together beautifully, remove the skillet from heat. Serve the cauliflower curry hot, garnished with additional cilantro if desired.
