Author Notes
I had been hearing about how delicious mashed cauliflower was, but couldn't find a recipe that inspired me to go ahead and try it. I decided to use ingredients that taste good in mashed potatoes, combined with some of the ingredients I use in making curry. The recipe can easily be adapted to vegan, and the seasonings adjusted to your own tastes. Our family likes their food SPICY! Cauliflower prepared this way satyrs the same "mouth feel"(?) as mashed potatoes. My mashed potato-loving husband didn't want anything to do with this dish, until we talked him into trying a tiny spoonful. He fell in love and promptly ate three servings! —fur8elise
