    Hi,thanks for the recipe. The recipe looks very short and good for bachelors who want to cook easily.
    I have a small clarification, after adding the cauliflower and keeping the lid some water is released , so should we keep cooking till the water is evaporated with the lid kept or remove the lid after some time and let the water evaporate ? My question is if water is there, how does it get fried ,please clarify.

      Drain the water completely and add the cauliflower florets. If there is little water, cook until it evaporates uncovered.

    The onions are loose in the end. I add onions for potatoes or any other vegetable fry, it usually sticks well to the vegetable. But with cauliflower, it remains loose. Would you recommend something for that?

      If you cook until the cauliflowers are soft and be a little generous in oil, it will get mixed well.
