Remove cauliflower florets and soak in hot boiling water and keep aside for 10 minutes, all impurities will settle down. After 10 minutes, keep in colander and let it dry little.

By that time pre-heat oven at 200 degree Celsius for 10 minutes.

Take baking tray, spread aluminum foil or parchment paper on it, brush oil on it and keep florets.

Sprinkle little more oil over florets, if there is a space in your baking tray keep potatoes and bake it for 10-15 minutes at 200 degree Celsius. Turn the side of florets and potato once it becomes brown from down.

By the time florets are getting roasted let's make masala.


In a pan or wok, add oil, let it become hot, add jeera and tej pata and let it splutter. Add onions, let it turn brown. Add chopped tomatoes add all the spices, mix well, add tomato sauce. Cover and cook till tomatoes become tender and soft.
