• Pour some more oil and wait till it is hot. Throw in cumin seeds and let them splutter. Now, add the cauliflower pieces and fry it for a while.
• Once the cauliflower turns golden in colour, add the potatoes and the spice paste (refer to step 2).

You can even add green chillies if you want it to be spicy.

• Now add sugar and salt to it and also throw in chopped tomatoes.
