7. 7Add the 2 tablespoons of Tomato paste to the pot. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes.
8. 8Add the prepared 1 medium head Cauliflower florets and the drained 1 cup Fermented bamboo shoots (Tama) to the pot. Stir well to coat everything evenly with the spice mixture.
9. 9Pour in the 2 cups of Water and add the 1 teaspoon Salt. Stir to combine, then bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat (212°F / 100°C).
10. 10Once boiling, reduce the heat to low (250°F / 120°C), cover the pot tightly, and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes. The curry is ready when the cauliflower florets are tender when pierced with a fork.
