Then add the finely chopped onions. Stir the ingredients often so they don’t burn. Add ginger and garlic paste. Now add tomato puree. Add coriander powder, turmeric, cumin powder. Stir well and add the boiled cauliflower and chopped potatoes. Add garam masala salt to taste. Cover and cook until they are a little soft. Garnish it with coriander leaves
