I have been cooking Cauliflower in different ways. I admit my favourite method is roasting in the oven, though it is not the best energy saving. My family loves ‘Curry Flavoured Roasted Cauliflower’.

Since I discovered the pan-steaming method to cook Broccoli, and it is the best & easiest way to cook Broccoli, I tried to cook Cauliflower in the same way. It works but it seems I need a little more water for Cauliflower. Today I added grated Cheese. As the result was so good, I must …
