Notes

If you need crunchy roasted cauliflower, bake it not more than 17 minutes.
You can line a parchment paper and then add the cauliflower florets for easy cleaning of the baking tray after cooking.
Roasted cumin powder gives a wonderful aroma for the recipe so if you don’t have cumin powder, roast some whole cumin’s and grind it a powder and use it in the recipe.
If you want the sauce to be thicker, don’t add any water while grinding.
Soaking the cashew is an important step to get smooth and creamy sauce.
