⁠🥘 Method⁠

• Form a paste by grinding the ginger, garlic and chilly⁠
• Add the cauliflower to a bowl and add the ginger-garlic paste, salt, turmeric, cumin powder, coriander powder, non-dairy yogurt, garam masala and chickpea flour⁠
• Mix well, cover and keep in the fridge for a minimum of 1 hour
• Meanwhile, toast the whole spices on low heat in a pan. When you smell the aroma, turn the heat off and remove from the pan and keep aside
• Take a skillet and place it on medium heat. Add a cup of water, cashews, tomatoes and onions. Let it come to a boil
• Cover and cook on low for 10 mins
• Add the toasted whole spices and cook for 5 minutes
• Turn off the heat. Let the mixture cool down
• In meantime, take the marinated cauliflower and add them a lightly oiled grill pan on medium heat. Cook the cauliflower until soft but not mushy. 
• Remove the bayleaf and cardamom from the tomato mixture. Grind the mixture in a blender until it's smooth. 
• Add the mixture back to the skillet and place the skillet on medium heat. Add water if the mixture is too thick. Bring it to a boil and add the cauliflower. Cook it on low for 5 minutes.
• Take a dish, add the rice to the bottom, and layer the tikka masala on the rice. Garnish with cilantro!
