Step-by-Step Instructions for Butter Cauliflower
- In a bowl, combine fresh lemon juice, cornstarch, ground cumin, ½ teaspoon of turmeric, 2 ½ teaspoons of garam masala, and salt. Whisk until well-blended to create a smooth paste.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cauliflower florets and sauté for 7-8 minutes until golden brown and slightly tender.
- Toss the sautéed cauliflower in the cornstarch mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Return to the skillet and cook for an additional 7-8 minutes.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil along with 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Heat over medium until the butter melts, then add the chopped yellow onion. Sauté for about 8 minutes.
- To the sautéed onions, stir in minced garlic, freshly grated ginger, and tomato paste. Cook for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the additional ground turmeric, garam masala, salt, paprika, ground cinnamon, and cayenne pepper to the skillet. Stir well and cook for 1 minute.
- Pour in the tomato sauce and vegetable broth into the skillet, stirring to combine. Increase heat and bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to low and let it simmer.
- Stir in the heavy cream, then gently add the sautéed cauliflower back into the skillet, and simmer everything together for about 15 minutes.
- Remove from heat and garnish the Butter Cauliflower with freshly chopped cilantro. Serve hot over basmati rice or with naan.

Notes
Ensure the cauliflower is cut into similar-sized florets for even cooking. Stir sauce occasionally while it simmers. Adjust cayenne pepper according to taste.
