Curried Cauliflower

Ingredients:
1 head of organic cauliflower, cut into florets
1-3 tbsp oil 
2 tbsp Ayurvedic curry powder #2
1/2 tbsp turmeric powder
salt to taste

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425*F.

2. Add coconut oil to a baking sheet and place in oven during preheat. This gets the oil nice and melty and you can swish it around to coat the bottom of the pan and to prevent the cauliflower from sticking (do this when roasting potatoes too).

3. Add curry powder, turmeric and a sprinkle of salt to the melted oil and stir to combine.

4. Add your cauliflower florets and coat in the oil and spice mixture.

5. Roast for 15-20 minutes, stirring 2-3x. For crispier cauliflower, broil for 2-5 minutes at the end.

Doshic Considerations

This Ayurvedic Curried Cauliflower recipe can be tailored to any dosha by following the recommendations listed below.

  • Vata should use 3 tbsp sesame oil; cauliflower can be vata-aggravating so it should be substituted with winter squashes or other vata-pacifying vegetables instead.

  • Pitta should use 2 tbsp virgin coconut oil.

  • Kapha should use 1 tbsp sunflower oil.
