You have shown us to make this in such a simple and fast way that this has become a regular in my house whenever I am in a hurry and dont have time to make something elaborate.
Plus do I even have to even say anything about the ‘yum factor’?

I want to know when we are microwaving cauliflower,is there any need to add water in it.

Hi Sweta,
We rinsed the cauliflower just before microwaving so it didn’t need any water. Some water was already clinging to the florets. If your cauliflower is dry, then you might want to sprinkle a little water on it before you put it in the microwave.

I used your recipe to bring some spice (heh, punny… okay) to an INDIAN MOVIE MARATHON that my friends and I hosted last weekend. Despite rumors spreading about the inept Chinese girl who catches things on fire, the recipe was a complete success with the reduction of the tongue burning spices. This recipe truly made me dump the tension that I had, and it prompted (invisible) Magic Hugs throughout the gathering. For this, I thank you.

Hi,
I loved ur recipe.. Could u suggest a method to make it with some gravy??

Hi Daisy,
If you like more gravy, you could try adding a little water to the masala before adding the vegetables. You may have to adjust the spices to compensate for the water.

Hi Dune,
Chat masala is a combination of many different spices so you would probably miss out on some of the uniqueness of the taste. Amchur is one of the ingredients in chat masala so you would get your tangy flavor (as you would with lime juice). One of the other big and noticeable ingredients in chat masala is black salt. This is one flavor which is very hard to replicate.
