If you like cauliflower and potato in a spicy, creamy sauce, this is the dish for you. It`s from a relatively new, but much used cookbook in the Chook House “Grandma`s Best Recipes”.
Don`t be put off by the long list of ingredients. This is a delicious way to serve cauliflower and, even if everyone else turns up their noses at it, you`ll be pleased, because there will be more left for you!

The sharp eyed among you will quickly spot that I substituted two ingredients in my korma. In the absence of coriander and orange pepper, I tossed in parsley and red pepper instead. I`ll just have to make the korma all over again when I get my hands on some fresh coriander. Any excuse!
