Easy, healthy and yummy!, Member msweet23

This dish was so very easy to make and tasted wonderful. I served it with lamb sprinkled with Cavendar's (avail at most grocery stores) and a boxed rice pilaf. Fresh fenugreek leaves were not available in Cincinnati, so I bought the dried version at an Indian Grocer and used 1/3 the amount called for in the recipe. Every time we eat cauliflower, this is how it will be prepared in our home!
