Chopped veggies

5.Add chopped onion with lit salt and stir.Cook until the onion becomes translucent.Then add chopped tomato and finally green pepper.Tomatoes and green pepper must cook until the raw smell goes.(by that time the colour of pepper changes and the skin of tomatoes separates.)
6.Reduce the flame and Add Chilli powder, turmeric powder and stir nicely.Add tomato sauce/ketch up and make a good gravy out of it.
7.Turn the flame to medium level and add some water if you need more gravy.When the gravy starts boiling,add the fried cauliflowers to the gravy and combine it till the gravy coats with cauliflower.
8.Keep the flame for one more boil and switch it off.

Tips
1.For non vegetarians,add 1 egg to the flour batter and mix.It helps to fry cauliflower easily and can avoid the smell of cauliflower.
2.I didnt add any colour to the gravy.so it does not have the restaurant look.If you want restaurant style recipe add lit red/orange colour and some heavy cream if you need.
3.But this home style is good for our health.
