To begin making the Poondu Poo Kosu/ Pepper Garlic Cauliflower recipe, prepare all the ingredients and keep ready.

Once the dal turns brown and crisp, stir in the curry leaves, onion and garlic and saute until the onion softens and turns lightly golden.

Once done, stir in the steamed cauliflower florets, salt, black pepper powder and red chilli powder. Saute for 3 to 4 minutes until the cauliflower gets well coated. Once done, check the salt and adjust according to taste.
