I have to admit we’re not big cauliflower eaters unless it has plenty of cheese. I believe your curried dish fills the bill with cheese as well as lots of flavor.
Sam
It took me a while to warm to it, but I really like it now. Cheese is my weakness, so I like anything with cheese, but you might like it roasted as well. It makes it sweeter. Just don’t cook it to death because that brings out the strong cabbage smell. I probably don’t need to tell you that since you are such a great cook.
Thanks for stopping by Sam.
I think this looks fabulous!
Mimi, I think the key is not to overcook it, or at least that is my opinion. Thanks for stopping by.
Love how you wrote this one Madonna. Wonderful story and memories! Your father-in-law sounds like someone I could talk with for hours, learning from. Wish I had more space to grow stuff too, but even just growing my herbs and citrus make me happy. He must have been something! My mom used to smother cauliflower in cheese sauce to get me to eat it as a kid. Now, I love it and there are many great ways to enjoy it. I think now roasted is my favorite! I have been wanting to do a curried cauliflower soup recipe.
Yes, my Father-in-law was a gem. You are right about roasting it,in fact I made your recipe, but you had just posted about it and I did not want to “copy”. 🙂 The soup sound delish too. Thanks for commenting, I am always thrilled when you approve.

Cauliflower takes to curry so well! It’s a terrific dish, and your version looks wonderful. Have you tried roast cauliflower? It’s really good — I’ll bet you’d like it. Anyway, good post — thanks.
Yes, I just had it a couple weeks ago – see Sally’s version – http://afoodcentriclife.com/roasted-cauliflower/ She is an excellent chef and I have made many of her recipes – all delish. I actually love it in all its versions, but that was not always the case.
Thanks for stopping by John. I appreciate your comments.

What a fun article! Who knew that cauliflower needs to be protected from sunburn and needs baby sitting if one desires to keep them white.
Yes, you must protect them or they will burn. I saw on youtube where a man uses clothes pins to pinch the green leaves together, but my Father-in-law used twine. You have to be a dedicated gardener and have a lot of patience. Thanks Bonnie for visiting.
I love cauliflower, always have, ever since I was a child and could never understand why so many of my friends and classmates would frown at the sound, even, of broccoli, Brussels sprouts or cauliflower, to name a few vegetables. Your curried version looks and sounds delicious; I love nutmeg with cheese and the creaminess of it looks like it would taste amazing! How wonderful that you can look back and appreciate the sage advice and useful lessons of your father-in-law’s wise words of experience.
Thanks for sharing!

I think I was just too young to appreciate vegetables. I also think they were overcooked which makes them smell strong. And, yes on the a little nutmeg.
The children and I love cauliflower. Hubby not so much, but he’s never tried it with curry. Thanks for the inspiration, I’ll give it a shot!
PJ
When the children like it and the dad doesn’t is a unlikely concept, but maybe he will be like me and just take a little longer to warm to it. I hope you all like it. Thanks for commenting PJ.
This looks really colorful and yummy! I will have to try it. Thanks for the recipe
When I was a child I really disliked cauliflower but now it’s one of my favourite vegetables especially with a cheese sauce. I must try your curry variation. Thanks for the recipe!

We love cauliflower and I’m always looking for different ways to try it. Thanks for sharing on the weekend re-Treat Link Party!

I love cauliflower! Growing up my mom always served it in a cheese sauce. When we got married my hubby said he didn’t like cauliflower. Then he tried it with cheese sauce and changed his mind. It’s so interesting that there are two cauliflower posts this week. What a coincidence. Both sound yummy and I will try them! I recently made a recipe I had pinned that roasted cauliflower and then it was tossed with croutons and blue cheese dressing. Not even a big lover of blue cheese, but it was delicious! I’ve made it twice. Thanks for sharing with SYC. Pinned.
hugs,
Jann
We will just love your Curry Cauliflower and I can’t wait to taste it! Thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday and have a great week!
Come Back Soon!

Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my German Foods post. I once tried to make the cauliflour pizza that I’ve been hearing about. It didn’t turn out so good for me though.
I saw the pizza online, but have not tried it. Thanks for stopping by.
I am pretty crazy about cauliflower and just just baked my first one..in the oven..whole..:)
This looks DELICIOUS Madonna!
Thanks so much Monique. It takes pretty well to almost any spice and good cheese. I think the key is just not to cook it too long or it get strong like cabbage. I also make it in the oven and it is really delicious and a few less calories.
Hello Madonna, I do like cauliflower and I’ll try it this way next with the addition of curry. I like to serve it roasted then drizzled very sparingly with a flavored nut oil, like walnut or hazelnut –it makes a very fine side dish ~or main course. You can add some finely chopped toasted nuts on top to finish, too.
Your father-in-law’s wisdom prevailed ~ I’m so happy you warmed up to cauliflower. 🙂
Thank you for sharing, and thank you for the kind words about my pup! xo ~m.
P.S. If you’re not getting my feed, I’m back at onceuponaplate.blogspot.com ~ there was a snag renewing my domain name. grrr! Have a great week!
Mari, I am so glad to hear from you. I will be right over.
Your suggestions sound wonderful and I will be trying them.
My family loves cooked cauliflower and we typically cook it in the oven with garlic, salt and red pepper – but they love curry even more so I think the combination is going to knock their socks off! (Sharon)
Thanks for sharing this on your gallery at Simply Bebetsy!

Cauliflower is great in the oven and takes spice very well. I don’t know why I resisted for so long. I blame it on my youth.:)

Congratulations!
Your recipe is featured at Full Plate Thursday this week. Have a great weekend and enjoy your new Red Plate!

We eat cauliflower quite often around here, but my hubby had to warm up to it. We eat a low-carb diet, so I won him over one night when I made what I call “cauliflators.” That would be substituting cauliflower for potatoes and mashing them up just like you were making mashed potatoes. I use all the same things — butter, sour cream, salt & pepper. They are really good! I love the taste of curry, so your recipe sounds delicious!
That is funny. Glad he finally gave in. Roasting is a good way also, and it takes well to your favorite spice or herb. Thanks for stopping by, I love comments.
Madonna, that looks and sounds wonderful. I’ll eat cauliflower just about any way except raw. Not big on raw vegetables.
~Ann
It took me a while but, now I will eat it about any way there is to make it. I really want to try your way. Thanks for stopping by.
