Let me start by thanking everyone for staying with me through this long absence. Loads of things came my way and I was not able to dedicate time to cooking for the blog (did I say I cook for the blog, may be I should say cooking for the family to be safe). I had a wonderful time with a couple of India Trips (woo hoo!!) for my brother's engagement and wedding. The months in between were spent with my in laws visiting us and me eating all the yummy food made by my Mother in law. So now you know why I was not cooking and blogging.
Now that I am back, lets get the party started shall we? This Roasted Cauliflower is perfect for just about anything. You could have it as a side dish with roti, goes great with rice, as a starter in a party, as a sandwich filler or in a Kathi Roll.. Yummm.. I wish I had a photo of the rolls toasted with a little oil or butter on the pan. Trust me, you want to do that. It just crisps up the outside and gives it a buttery flavour.
