In a pan heat the oil and add onion, garlic and ginger paste and fry for 3 minutes. Now add dhania powder, haldi powder, lal mirch powder and salt- add finely chopped tomatoes and further fry the masala till it starts leaving the oil- this is the indication that masala it properly done.Now add a little bit of garam masala in it and let it cool a little.

Shake off excess water from steamed cauliflower and rub the ready masala generously on it and bake it till done.
