  minutes longer.  Remove from heat.
  
  Heat oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat.  Add cumin seeds and
  cook for about 10 seconds.  Add garlic and ginger;  saute until the garlic
  is lightly browned, about 1 minute.  Stir in cayenne and immediately add
  the oil-spice mixture to the cauliflower mixture. Stir in lemon juice,
  cilantro, and sugar.  Taste and adjust seasonings with additional salt and
  cayenne.
  
  Serve over rice.
