Instructions
- If pan frying the cauliflower, cover the bottom of a skillet with ghee; heat over high. Pan fry in batches until browned. Drain on paper towels.
- If roasting, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place cauliflower on roasting sheet or pan. Drizzle with olive oil; roast for up to an hour, or until browned.
- Separately, put ghee, salt, jaggery and all of the spices (except garam masala, fresh coriander and pomegranate seeds) into a large pan set over low heat.
- Warm the mixture through until the ghee melts, the jaggery is liquefied, and the spices are fragrant, about a minute or two. The jaggery can be pressed with the back of spoon to dissolve any lumps that may remain.
- Add the cauliflower to the pan, stirring to combine. Cook slowly over very low heat for 30-40 min. The cauliflower should absorb all of the ghee from the pan and begin to fall apart. It should be soft and molten.
- Stir in the garam masala, cooking over low heat for another minute.
- Transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with fresh coriander and pomegranate seeds
