Step 1
Place cauliflower in large saucepan. Cover with water; bring to boil. Cook 10 minutes or until very tender. Reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid. Drain cauliflower and return to pot. Mash cauliflower with potato masher until slightly chunky. Stir in reserved 1/4 cup cooking liquid, 1 tablespoon at a time to moisten. Season with 3/4 teaspoon of salt and turmeric.

Step 2
Meanwhile, heat large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add ginger and garam masala; cooking until spices are fragrant, about one minute. Add Ground Beef and tomatoes, cook 8 to 10 minutes, breaking into 1/2-inch crumbles and stirring occasionally. Pour off drippings, as necessary. Season with remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Remove from heat and stir in peas.
Cooking Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed ground beef. Ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F. Color is not a reliable indicator of ground beef doneness.

Step 3
Preheat broiler to high. Spread beef mixture in even layer in skillet. Spread cauliflower mixture evenly over beef mixture. Place skillet on oven rack so surface of cauliflower is 3 to 4 inches from heat. Broil 12-15 minutes or until the cauliflower is golden brown. Cool slightly. Serve with lemon wedges.
