| Cauliflower and Potatoes with Spices |
I borrowed The Asian Vegan Kitchen
from the library and fell in love. There are about 30 pages of photos in the centre of the book and I want to make every single recipe. I decided to do an Indian Inspired Sunday brunch today starting with the Cauliflower and Potato with Spices recipe on page 18. I also made up my own lentils in a tomato/cashew sauce which was delicious but I will post the recipe for that later. The potato and cauliflower dish is what they call a dry dish. I don't always have fabulous results with this type of recipe and I'm definitely a sauce freak. You basically fry the spices and ginger in a bit of oil and then add the potatoes and cauliflower with a couple of tablespoons of water and let them steam or cook in their own juices. I was missing two of the spices; mango powder and asafetida so I'm not sure how those missing flavours would have affected the outcome but my husband and I both give this dish a 3 out of 5. The cauliflower was a little soft and the texture of the potatoes a bit weird for lack of a better word. I have a feeling I may enjoy this more tomorrow as leftovers.
