I don't know if there is any way to take a photo of this and make it look good. Perhaps that is why there was not a photo of this accompanying the recipe in May's Bon Appetit.
Regardless, this recipe struck me right away. I LURVE cauliflower. It is the ultimate health food for me. High in Vitamin C, Vitamin K, B5, Folate, B6, dietary fiber, protein, phosphorus, niacin, riboflavin, and more! I don't even know what half of those things are good for but I do know they are good for me! And it is low in calories and, most importantly, filling! Therefore, when I am making a conscious effort to eat healthy, I am not starving and don't want to rip someone's (most likely, my own) head off.
Cauliflower is paired with earthy chickpeas, seasoned with curry powder and simmered in diced tomatoes, lite coconut milk. Well, the recipe calls for regular coconut milk, but why ruin a good thing with 80,000 calories and 60 grams of fat?. There is supposed to be cilantro in this recipe as well, but I think cilantro is the devil, so I omitted it. I kept it in the recipe, though, just in case you make like it.
I can't tell you how many times I have made this dish since the day I first tried this. It may be one of my favorite go-to dishes now, and the best part is, it is so easy to make! It is about 10 minutes of active time.
Healthy and quick and delicious? Filled with tons of vitamins that I know nothing about but I do know they are good for me? I'm in!
PREPARATION

This looks so good, I'm going to make it tonight! I'm on such a coconut milk kick right now. Do you mind if I put a photo of mine on my blog, and of course link to yours?

This recipe is so for me. I went vegan in 2007, but have yet to find a recipe that incorporates the West Indian flavors I miss. I used to eat different variations of curry, rice, and roti at least twice a week. I can't wait to make this.

Experience is the child of thought , and thought is the child of action. We cannot learn men from books.

In fact, it is the most plentiful polyphenol in the human diet. The is hard to avoid, but is among the most dangerous to weight gain. It could make your stomach more filling and keeps from feeling hungry quickly. Dr Ismail stresses the Food Guide Pyramid is not as sensational as some new-fangled diet ideas which are abound. Now transitioning that i can using raw foods was almost instant and I realize that some people would prefer to transition more slowly which is fine.
