Cauliflower-Tomato Curry

Cauliflower, such a nutritious and very healthy vegetable. Its cool-season vegetable. Before using of cauliflower for any variation, pluck the florets, keep in salted warm water for 10 minutes, which will remove the natural bitterness, drain them and keep aside. Now you can use these florets for any type of variations like curry, dry items or pickles etc... I use to prepare these cauliflower in 3 or 4 variations.
