I have couple of cauliflower recipes on the blog. Growing up Cauliflower was one of my favorite vegetables. My mom used to prepare lip smacking dishes using this vegetable. It was out of the world especially on those chilly nights with hot rotis.
The other day when I was doing my regular weekly meal plan I came across this recipe on Sailus blog and decided to prepare it asap. Do try it out and let me know how it tasted.
