Cauliflower kurma

Got this new mortar and pestle from ikea and really wanted to try it out today, so I made up this kurma recipe which k claims is the second best dish I make!

Ingredients:
1 tspn coriander seeds, 1 tspn fennel seeds, 2 cloves, 1 clove garlic, 2 green chillies, 1 tspn jeera ground together!
1 cauliflower chopped
1/2 onion chopped
1/4 cup grape tomatoes
1/4 cup grated carrot
few tbspns cream (if desired)

Really simple recipe. Splutter the muster seeds in hot oil, add the ground spices and fry for a minute or so. Fry the onion until translucent. Add the cauliflower, carrot and tomatoes, cook for five minutes. Add cream, cover and cook for 10 minutes on low-medium. Decorate with chopped cilantro.
