Directions

1. In wok, bring 2 1/2 quarts lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Add Cauliflower and cook 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.

2. Set wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon oil. Add garlic, Onion and 1 teaspoon salt and stir-fry 1 minute. Add curry powder and stir-fry 1 minute (curry will absorb most of oil).
