Comments: 3/8/2011 - Made with pre-cooked, leftover cauliflower. Just add cauliflower at the end and heat until warm.
12/10/2012 - Used half a cauliflower and three garlic cloves, and one and a half real tomatoes in place of the canned tomatoes.
5/19/2018 - Used some pre-cooked purple cauliflower and a 12-oz bag of frozen florets with 1 1/2 chopped tomatoes. I forgot the cilantro. We'll probably get 4 servings out of it.
3/11/2021 - I used a full cauliflower, cut into pieces, and two teaspoons of cumin. I did not have any cilantro.
5/2/2021 - I used a full cauliflower, a teaspoon of garlic powder, an extra 1/4 cup of water, two teaspoons of cumin, the rest of the ingredients as indicated, and topped it with chopped parsley.
6/12/2021 - I used about half a cauliflower, and omitted all the spices. Still tasted good.
5/30/2022 - I used 1/2 an onion and 12 oz of frozen cauliflower, thawed, with all the spices except cilantro. It tasted good.
7/9/2022 - I used a whole cauliflower and a whole onion. I followed the recipe for everything else, even the cilantro. It was good.
3/27/2023 - I used a whole cauliflower and half a large onion. I did not have any cilantro, and I accidentally reversed the order of adding cumin and ginger, and the tomatoes.
12/15/2024 - Again I used a whole cauliflower and half an onion. I substituted 3 teaspoons of garlic powder for the cloves. I did not add any water. There was a lot of food; it filled our next to largest casserole dish.
