Simple and Easy Cauliflower Curry

Cauliflower is a vegetable which was never bought at our home. I tasted Cauliflower mostly as manchurian at restaurants. When I started staying with room mates, they used to make cauliflower almost every week. I learned up this simple and basic cauliflower curry from them.
