Boasting a mere 26 calories per 100 gms and a rich
source of vitamin C, vitamin K, folate and fiber, cauliflower deserves the
new found status as a go-to vegetable for side dishes, salads and as part
of flavorful stews and main dishes. It has
a firm, almost waxy texture, and a mild, delicate flavour. When cooked properly, it is a delight. Cauliflower can stand up to rather
bold seasoning, in fact. In this recipe, it gets garlic, Onions, capsicum and Ginger.
Come evenings and my brain is racing at an alarming speed to catch up with the dinner menu...Its a real challenge to come up with exciting dishes out of the most simplest vegetable for the family.
