Ramble On: Spicy Cauliflower Recipe

I made this one day, by chance, . I was thinking of making lemon rice, but realised i hadn't kept enough rice in the rice cooker to make lemon rice. However, I had already got a hot pan, with all tadka listed in this recipe. So i just improvised,and put in the cauliflower i had chopped for another kind of subzi. I tasted pretty good,a dn my husband also liked it a lot for rice-sambar combination.

So here goes, Enjoy.
