  4. When it splutters, add onion and garlic and saute for a minute.

  5. Put in capsicum and stir fry for a minute or two. We like the slightly crunchy texture of capsicum, so I didn't cook it till soft.

  6. Now add Tomato-onion paste [or tomato puree] and saute for a few seconds.

  7. Add the cauliflower florets and some water and cover and cook for a few minutes.

  8. Put in the ground paste, salt and chili powder.
