If I may say so, I had begun to make this when I realised I didnt have curry powder at home. So, back home in India, if we dont have curry powder, we use a combo of red chilli powder, turmeric powder, corriander powder and garam masala powder. I did just that:) I used 3/4 tsp. red chilli powder, 1 tsp. turmeric powder, 1 tsp. each of garam masala and corriander powder. It was a nice dish, I must also mention that it was indeed "Light". I used 1 1/2 fresh tomatoes instead of 1/2. And yes, 1 tsp. salt( was perfect for the 2 cups cauliflower, IMHO). Thank you for a nice calorie wise dish:)

This was really good!! I used tomato sauce (I didnt feel like chopping) and I had steamed cauliflower in the fridge .. All in all, 7 minutes, for a truly wonderful dish!

I had just enough cauliflower for 1 1/4 cups, so I used some shredded cabbage as well. I also used garam masala for curry powder. And I absolutely loved this dish! I had it as a side with rotis for dinner. The only change I'll make next time is to use only 1/4 cup of the water for a slightly drier version! Thanks again, Bergy! I can always count on your veggie recipes!
