Cauliflower Delight

Saute to perfection is one important cooking technique. Once you get it right, you may achieve that perfection in your art. Just knowing the recipe by heart or copying the written recipe may not give you the desired tastes and result if you don't know how to saute to the perfection. It happend with me many a times and I used to blame recipes. Chilly chicken never came out nicely after trying umpteen efforts and I took a break from that... but now, I knew it. Same with chicken chukka, Stirfried vegetables, etc etc. Turning the onion pink, to brown, to crispy brown etc. all are different phases of onion sauteing, which I always ignored. But, trust me guys, these impart different flavours and never take it so lightly. My kids wanted that perfect taste we get in restaurants.

This is one such recipe... It's easy and less spicy, but a delicious side dish to accompany your rotis or fried rice.
