I am new to Indian cooking and want to understand about the chilis. These are hot chilis correct? Is there a particular name of the chilis to look for? Intriguing recipe!

One thing I love about your website/app is that I can make many of the recipes - like this one - with things I already have on hand. The flavor of the creamy cauliflower belies how simple it is - both in method and in the short, common list of ingredients. 15 minutes from start to finish using an electric pressure cooker (set cauliflower for 0 minutes, and prepped everything else while it steamed; saute function for the remaining steps), which is a very small time investment for the huge payoff!

I was so bored of having the typical cauliflower subzi. This recipe is a great change. You can have this subzi just like that also, its so delicious. It goes well with rotis and phulkas also. The paste of onions and green chillies gives a good spice to it.
