Keep in the mind


Care to clean the cauliflower florets.Because some tiny insects present in the  cauliflower florets.We should remove or kill them before adding florets to the curry.
Use hot water to get rid of insects.
We can add tomato paste or puree instead of tomato pieces.
Remove the layer of tomato and add in the blender and make a paste.
For removing layer of tomatoes put tomatoes in hot water for 15 mintues.Then layer of tomatoes can easily  remove.
We can add masala powder instead of masala paste also.
Add coconut  milk instead of cream.That gravy also yummy...
