Spiced Cauliflower image

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.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The cauliflower was overcooked and the spices were not very flavorful. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.
