My review
Spiced Cauliflower
PTG
"I grew up with cauliflower boiled and served with buttered crumbs. Although I love melted butter, the two never melded for me, and cauliflower remained my least favorite vegetable until I discovered this recipe from Indian friends.
I omitted the chile and prepared it for my brother who cannot tolerate any hot spice, and he raved about it.
It's flavorful, and the microwave finish leaves the cauliflower slightly crisp, which we prefer."

- Cook's Note:
- You can finish on the stovetop if you add a little water and steam, or you can increase the microwave time for a softer cauliflower.

I made the recipe as directed. While the result was a pretty side dish, it lacked in flavour

This is very tasty! Good, rich flavor, not overpowering. Greatly improves your standard cauliflower. Easy to do. Get the lid on the mustard seed quick, though, or they'll shoot all over the kitc...

it's actually quite bland given the complexity and fresh ingredients.... not worth the effort.
