    Cauliflower has got many health benefits, it boosts heart health, helps  in detoxification and has many digestive benefits too. 

    With less calories it's one of the best option for all those weight watchers. I find it to be one of the healthiest option to include in one's diet.

    But sadly , did you know the amount of pesticides they spray on this vegetable ? So always opt for a organic cauliflower or make sure to blanch cauliflower before use.

      Thank you for the recipe. It was very helpful, especially the notes about the hung curd. I didn't know what hung curd was and the process to drain it. As its just sold as natural yoghurt in the supermarket and there's nothing to drain.

        Thanks , Actually in supermarket / stores in India we do get set curds in container and regular curds in pouch. Set curds will be thick and will have no water to drain , as you have mentioned. But in case if you are using curds from pouch or homemade curds then there will lot of water content which needs to be drained before using in this recipe. Hence I have mentioned the same. Thank You 🙂
