For the stuffing ,you can use beef or chicken ,tuna, turkey or shrimp .It entirely depends on your taste .Usually I use the leftover beef. Beef gives a enriched flavor in the cauliflower.
If you have cooked beef curry , you can also use that too.
Since the beef is already cooked and got all the spices in it . Just take out the meat &
cut the meat in small thin pieces so that you can stuff the meat in the flower and in a hot pan add oil then onion and fry the onion till lightly golden brown.
Next add 1 teaspoon curry powder, cooked beef ,green chili, cilantro and stir it for about 5 to 8 minutes. The stuffing is ready when you see that all the ingredients and the beef blends together very well and your nose will be tickled with the nice smell.

Preparations:
1. Clean cauliflower, and trim off leaves and any brown spots. Place the whole head of cauliflower in a microwavable bowl. Sprinkle salt and pepper on the head and the bottom of the flower.
2. While you are preparing for the stuffing , place the bowl with cauliflower in the micro oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Each side (head and bottom)is for 7 to 10 minutes. Remember that the two -third cauliflower will be cooked in the micro oven.
3. On the head make a small cross cut so that you can stuff the beef stuffing .You have to put the beef stuffing very delicately so that the cauliflower may not be broken. Put as much stuffing as possible .
4. Next place the flower upside down means the bottom side, where you will see lots of gap and inside those gap you can put stuffing as much as possible with finger .Putting the stuffing is the most core and delicate job in this recipe.
5. After finishing the stuffing ,place the head on the baking try.
