One of our favourite curry recipes from our new book “Vegan cooking for everyone”. This easy to make and so tasty! Cauliflower can often be tarnished as being a blend vegetable but when baked it gets more flavour and a slight charred note. Well worth getting the spices too. hope you enjoy this as much as we do.
