#finale #aromasofthekitchen
I am blessed with a dream team; Aromas of the Kitchen- Thank you all, it was great contesting with you. We made it to the finals and Chef Siddharth, thank you for this unique challenge as Cauliflower is a favorite of mine and inspires me to churn out exceptional recipes with it. The recipe I am sharing here of Cheesy Minced Cauliflower Casserole is extraordinary. Cauliflower is usually cooked whole or in florets. It is grated for paratha but I wanted to explore and tried out Minced Cauliflower with peas and topped with eggs to give it an extra kick.
Being a non-vegetarian since birth and then turning veggie by choice, I looked to alternatives for cooking tastier and nutritious vegetarian fare. My husband turned veggie along with me and he being a total foodie it was always a challenge to meet his high standards. I completely vouch for the saying that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach!! It is proven true many times over.
Cooking is no rocket science but the main ingredient “LOVE” should not be ignored. Where there is love there is a gourmet dish! All mothers cook with love thus the saying that nothing can beat “maa ke haath ka khana”.

Steps

40 minutes

1

Wash and grate the cauliflower till the flowerets area. Heat a wok or skillet and add butter. Once it is hot add all the whole masala (cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, anise flower), then add the ginger-garlic paste.
2

Once it is a little brown add the finely chopped onions and the green chillies. Sauté till the onions are a golden brown.
3

Now add the grated cauliflower and peas and let it simmer a bit. Now add the milk and let it cook till the milk dries up and mince is cooked. Milk is crucial to this recipe as it helps in removing the typical cauliflower smell and gives a richer taste to the dish. Add the cream and cashew paste. Mix well.
4

Add the salt, turmeric, chilli powder and Garam masala and sauté till nicely golden.Meanwhile, warm up the oven at 100 degrees.
Transfer to a casserole and add the mozzarella. Bake until the top is nice and golden. This is not an au gratin thus does not have to be white. On top of this break the eggs and bake in the Oven or place a fried egg on it later. Place some thinly sliced cauliflower for that extra crunch. Brush some butter on them. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper on the eggs.
5

Remove from oven and garnish the Cheesy Minced Cauliflower Casserole with the fried egg and garlic chives which give off a wonderful aroma. Serve Cheesy Minced Cauliflower Casserole hot with garlic bread.
