1/2 cup water
5 ml/1 tsp chilli powder
15 ml/1 tbsp ground coriander
5 ml/1 tsp ground cumin
5 ml/1 tsp mustard powder

6-8 curry leaves

juice of 2 lemons

Mix the gram flour with a little water to make a smooth paste.Add the chilli,coriander,cumin,mustard,tumeric and salt.Add the remaining water and mix to blend the ingredients.
Heat the oil in a large pan,fry the curry leafs and the cumin seeds.Add the spice paste and simmer for 5 minutes.If the sauce is too thick add a little hot water.
Add the cauliflower and coconut milk.Bring to a boil,reduce heat,cover and cook until cauliflower is tender but crunchy.add the lemon juice,mix thoroughly and serve hot,garnished with lime slices.
Notes.I put in less lemon juice and this still had a very nice refreshing taste to it.This doesn't take long to cook,smells heavenly and will serve 4-6 hungry people.
Enjoy!
