  • Blend in the yogurt gradually and keep on stirring until the oil is separated.
  • Add crushed cashews and poppy seeds and ¼ cup water.
  • Now add the cauliflower, head down, and coat with masala to let everything cook together for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Place the cauliflower, stump down, in a casserole dish.
  • Coat with all the masala.
  • (Put more cuts in the cauliflower to ensure that all sides are covered with the masala.) Before serving, bake for 15 minutes at 350°F.
