    Add cauliflower florets & cubed potato to the herb & spice mix, mix them well with the roasted spices. Cover the wok/ pan with lid and continue on medium heat till cauliflower and potatoes are well cooked, stirring occasionally.

Notes

How to Tell When Oil is Hot
When a small piece of food (a bit of ginger OR garlic OR onion) sizzles immediately when added to the pan.
 
Start Cooking only after all the Preparation steps are completed
In Indian Cooking each step move fast so every ingredient should be in ready-to-cook state and should be close to the cooking station before starting cooking.
