Begin by preparing the ingredients. Finely chop the onions, tomatoes, garlic, and green chilies. Grate the ginger. Cut the cauliflower into small florets and wash them thoroughly.
Heat the oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and toast them for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until golden brown, about 5-6 minutes.
Add the garlic, ginger, and green chilies. Sauté for another 2 minutes until aromatic.
Stir in the ground meat and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking up any clumps with a spoon, about 8-10 minutes.
Add the turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Stir thoroughly to coat the meat with the spices.
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they break down and form a thick sauce, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the cauliflower florets and mix well to coat them in the spiced meat mixture.
Pour in the water, cover the skillet, and let it simmer over low heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and the flavors are well combined.
Sprinkle the garam masala over the dish and stir. Cook uncovered for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve hot with naan, paratha, or steamed rice.
