    Blanch the florets for 1 minute, then drain. Heat the olive oil in a heavy saucepan then add the onion and a pinch of salt. Cook on a low heat until soft then add in the ground spices and cook for another couple of minutes. Add the cauliflower florets and fry a little longer. Add the saffron water, pine nuts and drained raisins. Cook until cauliflower is soft and you have a thin sauce. Check for seasoning and add the butter, if using. Sprinkle over fresh coriander and serve.
