Cooking In Season
Salad Meals to Beat the Heat
In this recipe round up, I have gathered my best and most delicious summer salad meal recipes in one post, for days when it’s too hot to cook!
These are some of the comments I heard last night from cooking class students as they ate this cauliflower dish:
“It’s soooooo good!”
“It’s just so fresh.”
“My kids would eat this.”
“I’ll never boil cauliflower again.”
I felt then that I had been depriving my faithful blog readers of a really good and really simple recipe for a nutritious winter vegetable. Crisp florets of cauliflower sauteed to succulent yumminess in a perfect mixture of nutty Indian spices. Slightly spicy, slightly tangy, mouth-dancing, delicious. One of my favourites, for sure.
Although the ingredient list is long, this dish is simple to make and cooks in less than 10 minutes (20 minutes total prep/cook time).
My cauliflower-hating child will actually eat a portion of this, and my cauliflower-loving child will eat the whole recipe, if you let him.
I originally adapted this from Madhur Jaffrey’s ‘A Taste of India’. It’s really, really good.
In this delicious winner of a recipe, tender pieces of cauliflower are infused with Indian spices and finished with lemon and cilantro. This makes for a wonderful side dish to any meal.
Note ~ *Amchoor is a powder made from dried green mango slices and it is available at any Indian or Middle Eastern market. It is fruity and tangy. If you can’t find any, or don’t want to, substitute 1 Tb fresh lemon juice, added at the end with the garam masala and cilantro.

Pumpkin spices scones are a perfect fall treat; not-too-sweet, fragrant with spices, with a full complement of rich pumpkin flavour.

Thanks for sharing this recipe. I just cooked it up and it’s delicious! Just curious… where in Victoria would you buy the mango powder?
Hi Jezzy, you can buy mango powder at any Indian food market or Middle Eastern food market. I’ve found it at the Indian Food Market on Quadra/McKenzie and at Blair Mart Middle Eastern Foods on Pandora
Yummmyy… mouth watering.. Thanks for sharing this.. m definitely going to make this.
I love Cauliflower. Thanks for posting this blog.
Hello,
I’ve made this 3 times in the last week. It’s that good! First I made it as a snack, then with mashed potatoes and ground beef as a sort of casserole, and again tonight as a side dish.
Tonight I used brussels sprouts halved, and the other third was cauliflower. It as very yummy.
Thank you so much for this, Heidi.- Margaret
