Step:

  1. Wash, break and chop the cauliflower into small florets.

  2. Blanch the florets in boiling water with 1/2 tsp salt for 5 minutes. Take out the half cooked florets and wash in cold water. Drain the cold water from the florets in a strainer.

    I took only florets in a microwave safe bowl and half cooked without salt and water to save time.
