Sorry friends...This recipie is better.I tried it. Crispy cauliflower- Cut cauliflower into small florets. Do not ignore the stem. cut them into small pieces too.Place them in a casserole and sprinkle some salt on it. Keep this in the oven for 15 minutes at 500 degree. Take two chillies and cut it into fine round pieces. Heat a Tawa, add olive oil,and then, add the chilies and ginger paste(add more say two teaspoons).If you desire, you can add garlic pieces to it. Sprinkle red chilli powder just very little and then add soy sauce and tomato sauce and keep frying. Again put this in a casserole and keep it in the oven at 300 for some 10 minutes. Place them in a plate and insert tooth picks on the florets and serve. Note: Soy sauce gives good color to cauliflower. Since we add tomato sauce rather than adding tomatoes, crispness is retained and time is also saved. Kavitha from Higland... Take a big porcelain bowl and heat 2 cups milk in it.
