• Sauce:
• 1 1/2 teaspoons canola oil
• 1 1/2 cups chopped white onion
• 1 tablespoon finely ground blanched almonds (about 1/2 ounce)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons grated peeled fresh ginger

1. To prepare cauliflower, bring first 3 ingredients to a boil in a large saucepan. Add cauliflower florets; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes or just until tender (do not overcook). Drain.
2. To prepare spice mix, combine cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, and bay leaf in a medium nonstick skillet; cook over medium heat 2 minutes or until toasted and fragrant. Place mixture in a coffee or spice grinder; process until ground.
3. To prepare sauce, heat oil in skillet over medium heat. Add onion; saute 8 minutes or until lightly browned. Stir in cardamom mixture, almonds, and next 5 ingredients (through garlic); cook 2 minutes. Remove from heat; cool slightly.
4. Preheat oven to 350u0b0.
5. Place onion mixture and 1/3 cup water in a blender, and process until almost smooth, scraping sides of blender occasionally. Place onion mixture in skillet; gradually stir in yogurt. Cook over low heat 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
6. Place cauliflower in a shallow 2-quart baking dish; pour onion mixture over cauliflower, tossing to coat. Bake at 350u0b0 for 20 minutes or until thoroughly heated and just beginning to brown. Sprinkle with cilantro.
