Cauliflower Masala (org. Hard Boiled Eggs Masala)

[Guest guest]

Virginia,

 

Everyone absolutely loved this masala dish when I made it for the first

time (as is with eggs) for a dinner party.

 

My family very much enjoys cauliflower so I used this recipe to make a

cauliflower tomato masala. Absolute success - no one could get enough

of it, including the little ones! I boiled the whole cauliflower first

in salt water - just al dente; still a little bit crunchy. Then I

separated the florets, immersed them in the ready sauce, followed by

simmering for about 10 - 12 minutes. Enjoy,
