½ teaspoon chili garlic paste

Instructions

In a pressure pan or saucepot, heat the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add garlic, onions, almonds and cauliflower florets along with jalapenos(if using this instead of chili paste) and saute for about 2 to 3 minutes on medium low.
Add the spice powders (coriander, cumin and cinnamon) along with the chili paste and fry again for about a minute.

Once cooked, drain the soup into a pot over a colander. Remove the slit jalapenos and blend the cooked vegetable in a blender to a smooth paste.
Add to the drained liquid and mix well. Add more water if necessary to the consistency you want. Add salt to taste. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 2 to 3 minutes.
