No offense to cookbook author Mollie Katzen, but this dish simply doesn't lend itself to purple cauliflower. It may have been a little sexier with a traditional white cauliflower. Of course, all cauliflower tastes the same, no matter the color. And this dish was deelish!The curry paste is made from ground roasted peanuts, coconut, cayenne, onion, garlic, ginger, and some other yummies. It's combined with cauliflower, carrots, potatoes, and chickpeas and served over brown rice.
I even had a few Onion Parathas (from this HappyVeganFace recipe by Jessy) that I'd frozen awhile back after making a large batch:
These are spiced onion-stuffed flatbreads, and I thawed one out to really give this dish an Indian flair. In case you were wondering, Jessy's parathas freeze beautifully.
Who cares if it's pretty as long as it tastes damn good?! ;)
ReplyDeleteit does sound tasty!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds delicious--I love cauliflower and curry!
ReplyDeleteMmmm homemade parathas! I've never seen purple cauliflower...neat!
ReplyDeletewouldn't that be fun to make the moosewood's 'enchanted broccoli forest' recipe with purple cauliflower? how dr. seuss!
ReplyDeleteWell it sure sounds good! Yum!
ReplyDeleteAnd my mum just got your gift (well yesterday, with the time difference) and she just loved it! Wait, did I already tell you that? I'm having déjà vu...anyway, she loved it, and especially loved your decorating job with the little fish! Thank you, Bianca!
It sounds so yummy, and it looks like how most of my favorite dishes come out--a bit homely looking, but tasty nonetheless! I don't think I've ever had paranthas before, so I'll have to make some. Thanks for the link!
ReplyDeletemmmmm that curry looks amazing!!!!
ReplyDeleteI've always said that the ugliest looking food is often the tastiest. I bet this was delicious! Curry anything is a winner in my book and those parathas look divine!
ReplyDeletepurple cauliflower! that sounds soo good :)
ReplyDeleteOooh, making a ton of parathas and freezing them is genius. And that curry looks fantastic.
