  1. Hello Mangala,

    As usual this looks like it belongs on Top Chef! I have a question though - instead of using cauliflower florets, what about brocoli? You know, they say brocoli and cauliflower and brother and sister.

    Also, can I double the amount of fenugreek? I have a lot left over from making dosas

  4. @Anonymous: You can definitely substitute cauliflower w/ broccoli(I know quite a few people who just cannot stand it, something to keep in mind if you are having guests over)
    I have used broccoli in pilafs in the past and have liked it.

    @Prathima, @Reva: Happy X'mas and a New Year to you too! I know this recipe is so easy-breezy and tastes so good!
