  7. Cover the pan, reduce the heat to low, and cook for 20 minutes, or until the cauliflower florets are tender but still hold their shape.
  8. Turn the contents of the pan into a serving dish.
  9. Sprinkle with fresh chopped coriander and serve immediately.

For extra heat, increase the amount of green chili or add a pinch of red chili powder.

Ensure the cauliflower is cut into uniform florets for even cooking.
