Had a big cauliflower in my pantry, was not sure of what to do after parathas, gobi 65 and so on, realized that why not I give a try to a soup out of this. Usually when I try something new, either I try as instructed in the recipe or with slight changes but never I change measurements. But this time as I had large portion left out I thought to give a try with my own ways, with my own varied ingredients including Indian spices too. Fairly speaking I had no idea how would it turn out nor I had any plans to blog about it. But it turned out extremely delicious. I din't want to miss sharing it with my readers. I would hence forth try again, not only me, my kid too enjoyed it lots. It was more creamy in nature though no cream went in the making. I believe cauliflower can act as a base in many gravy based curries instead of cashew based or cornflour based because of their creamy nature when cooked and blended. I should try some day. Here I share the recipe for the same.
