Scrape the flour into a medium bowl and let cool, then stir in the yogurt, Ginger Paste, Garlic Paste and 1 tablespoon of the oil; season with salt.In a mini food processor, finely grind the cashews. In the small skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil.

Set the stuffed cauliflower in a baking dish, right side up, and spoon the yogurt topping all over the head.
6. Bake the cauliflower for about 1 hour, or until richly browned.
