Indian Recipe ∶ Indian Cauliflower

A spicy cauliflower served whole on a platter - looks like a red and yellow flower. Garam Masala can be found in Indian grocery stores and some traditional grocery stores. I like to serve peas and carrots lightly cooked in butter on the side of this dish.

Ingredients

• 1 large head cauliflower
• 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
• ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 small onion, minced
• 2 tomatoes, pureed
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 3 teaspoons garam masala
• salt to taste

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Cut off most of the cauliflower's stem and place the whole head in a baking dish.
2. Heat two tablespoons of oil and turmeric together in a small frying pan. Brush the cauliflower head with the oil and turmeric mixture.
3. Bake the cauliflower for 30 minutes.
4. While the cauliflower is cooking heat two tablespoons of oil in a frying pan, mix in the minced onions and saute until the are a medium brown color. Add the pureed tomatoes, garlic powder, garam masala and salt. Let this mixture simmer for 10 minutes.
