CAULIFLOWER GRAVY

Cauliflower vegetable has lots of health benefits.It reduces cancer risk, fights inflammation, provides high levels of vitamins and minerals, improves digestion and detoxification, aids in weight loss, helps balance hormones, preserves eye health. I have prepared without using garlic or ginger. I have learnt it from my cousin. It goes well with idli, dosas, chapatis and hot rice.
