Sesame Honey Cauliflower Bites

 
#001
 
Cauliflower is one versatile vegetable. Cook it anyway you like and you will love the final dish. Of course I’m assuming that you like the basic flavor of this creamish – greenish vegetable. I first tasted ‘Honey Gobi’  long time back in Chandigarh  (India) and it was love at first bite. Like any other Indo-Chinese food, it’s not easily available in local restaurants here in U.S. Last Christmas, I tried to recreate this dish. My family liked it and so I’m sharing the recipe. I hope you enjoy it. If you have a better recipe for this dish please email me or share in the comments section.
