Take the cauliflower florets and marinate them for 5 minutes with salt and a little turmeric. Fry the florets and keep aside.
In the same oil, add tej patta, whole cumin seeds, sugar and let the cumin splutter.
Add the finely chopped tomatoes and ginger paste. Add the dry masalas and fry well till you see the masala leaving the oil. Then add the fried cauliflower and mix well.
Add the coconut milk and cover and cook till Cauliflower becomes tender. This will not take long as they were deep fried before. Lastly add the garam masala, ghee and grated coconut and give a gentle stir.
