Saturday Flavors: Cauliflower Curry

Today I decided to try something new for dinner. I was tired of the whole pasta and more pasta routine. I've also been hearing a lot about cauliflower being made into a dish, rather than just a snack. I remember seeing an idea for cauliflower curry and decided to whip some up. Here's my recipe:

1/2 tablespoon cumin
1/2 tablespoon red cayenne pepper
1/2 tablespoon lemon pepper
1/2 tablespoon garlic salt
Salt to taste (I put in about 1/2 tablespoon)
1 cup water
1/2 cup milk
1 large yellow onion, diced
2 small tomatoes, diced
1/2 cup diced green onion
1/3 head of cauliflower, broken into small florets
1 16 oz can stewed tomatoes with garlic and celery
3 tablespoons vegetable oil

1) Puree can of tomatoes in a blender or food processor. Set aside.
2) Heat oil in a large skillet.
3) Add onions and cook over medium heat until golden and soft.
4) Add cumin, red cayenne pepper, lemon pepper, garlic salt, and salt. Cook for 2 more minutes. 
5) Add pureed tomatoes and let summer for 2 minutes.
6) Add water, milk, diced tomatoes and cauliflower. Let simmer for 25 minutes.
7) Pour over white rice, garnish with green onion and enjoy!

This makes about 4 generous servings.

The true test of how delicious something is, is asking my husband if I should make it again. This was a resounding yes and even my mother (who has never been a fan of Indian food) said she would love it if I made it again.

Not too bad for just guessing and throwing something together!
