Whole Cauliflower with Makhani Sauce

To blanch the cauliflower, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the salt, turmeric, and chili powder, followed by the whole cauliflower. Cover the pot and cook for about 8 minutes, flipping the cauliflower if needed, until it is tender. Remove cauliflower from the pot and cool in an ice bath. To make the makhani sauce, heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the dried chili and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is golden brown, about 7 minutes. Add the ginger paste and garlic paste and cook for 2 more minutes. Add the coriander, cumin, and turmeric and cook for 2 more minutes. Add the tomato puree and salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cashew paste and fenugreek leaves and remove from the heat. If using an immersion blender, puree until smooth. If you are using a countertop blender, set aside to cool. Once the sauce is cool, transfer it to the blender and puree until smooth. Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C) Place the blanched cauliflower in a baking dish and pour half the pureed sauce over the top. Bake for 20 minutes. While the cauliflower is in the oven, heat the remaining sauce in a saucepan. Put the heated sauce in a serving bowl and add the cauliflower to the bowl after removing it from the oven. Serve hot, garnished with cilantro.
