Rinse the blanched cauliflower under running cold water before using in the recipe. I have used basic spice powders in this cauliflower poriyal. We prefer this poroyal on spicier side. You can reduce the amount of chili powder as per taste. Also you can make this poriyal as crispy as you want by sauteing in low flame.
