It is one of those days, when I cant think of what to write up on the post. A block of editing pictures and writing up I guess. I just want to keep cooking in the kitchen! 
Oh well. Lets just get to the food. We eat a lot of cauliflower in general in any and every form. It usually gets added to many Indian side veggie stir frys – Aloo Gobi, put on a Pizza 1, 2, 3 it gets grated into Burgers and Omelettes, and now it gets roasted as a whole slice. 

 
I looked in the refrigerator and decided to top these roasted slices with some parsley and thyme infused gravy. The gravy is adapted from the ppk’s mushroom gravy. I tasted and ate a bit, but as you know about my hello hi relationship with mushrooms, I topped my cauliflower with Chana masala instead ;). Hubbs enjoyed his drenched in a lot of gravy. The gravy smells amazing with all that parsley and thyme. 
The dish comes together quite easily. Slice up the cauliflower and put it in the oven. Make the gravy and serve.

I also tried some on a roasted sliced cabbage. Trial Cabbage steak below. Its different and i am not sure how I feel about it.

I roasted this cabbage slice( pictured above) with the cauliflower. The roasted cabbage tastes ok, but doesn’t roast as well and doesn’t seem to work with the gravy. Its a personal taste. If you think you will like roasted crispy cabbage with something, give it a go.

    That cauliflower looks divine! I do enjoy crispy cabbage, but I tend to put it into smaller dices, so that it gets really crisp kind of like kale chips. Although, it does shrink a lot that way, and so you can’t slice it too terribly small or it will practically disappear.

  6. Divya Shivaraman says:

    loved it…looks yum

  7. Glue and Glitter says:
