Cauliflower-Peas Curry

This spicy and tangy Cauliflower-Peas Curry is a North Indian side for rice and roti. Easy to make, this vegetarian curry is a colorful and tasty combination of cauliflower and peas.

This is a dry curry, so if serving with roti, you might want to team it with some raita or dal.

Cauliflower and peas provide fiber which prevents constipation and helps prevent colon cancer.
