This is tara's awesome gobi (indian style cauliflower) recipe.
It makes a lot, use a large pan.

7 spices:
- cumin seeds (whole)
- corriander seeds (whole)
- fresh garlic, moderate
- fresh ginger, chopped, lots
- tumeric
- half a cinnamon stick
- SALT (lots more than you would think)

Oil - not olive oil.  Don't fry in olive oil.  sheesh.
Several large onions, chopped.
One large head of cauliflower, chopped.
Several tomatos.  Really, as many tomatos as you want.
A little bit of tomato paste.

put all spices but the salt with cold oil in a
large frying pan or pot, and cook them on medium
heat till they start to cook, ie, turn brown a
bit, and the oil is "fragrant".

put chopped onion in the oil, cook on low-medium
heat until it's translucent. be patient! don't
burn this stuff!

put the gobi (cauliflower) in with the onions and
oil. chop this stuff pretty small for shorter
cooking times, like quarter to half dollar sized
chunks. add some water at the same time.

cook till the gobi is done, adding water if
necessary. you don't want to burn this stuff either!

when the gobi is cooked, add chopped up tomatoes,
and a little bit off tomato paste. about a
tablespoon for a whole head of cauliflower.

serve with rice, lots of cilantro, and plain, sour yogurt. yummmy.
