Indian Cauliflower Dhal
I saw a recipe for cauliflower dhal recently in the Jamie Oliver collection and hurriedly clicked on it to see how he did it. Well, disappointingly for us, still used coconut milk and legumes with a bit of cauliflower thrown in.
So, I reinvented my “usual” dhal/dal recipe, using the cauliflower as the lentils ! I think it turned out really well. A nice tasty addition to any Indian meal, or a meal in itself. The coconut essence adds a bit of “umph” to the flavour palette.
Even better the next day,
