Heat the oil in a frying pan.  Add the cauliflower and fry until colour changes slightly.  Add the stock cube straight to the pan (no need to dilute with water)  Add all seasonings and fry for 2-3 minutes.  Cover and let the steam cook the cauliflower grains until soft.  Keep checking and stirring.  Serve with chicken curry or any main dish.
