Indian Spiced Cauliflower

Heavily spiced for flavour without being spicy hot, this is the perfect dinner for a Meatless Monday meal for those supporting the planet by eating vegetarian at least one night a week. It’s especially lovely served with basmati rice cooked in coconut milk. Plus, ginger and turmeric are anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory spices that are great for digestive health and immunity. Enjoy!

Serves: 4
