I have probably made this a million times since first reviewing it in jul 03. We enjoy this recipe very much!! Tonight I made it with a few minor alterations due to my own stupidity LOL I didnt realize i was out of peas until it was too late... so i decided to throw in some chopped jalapenos for added color and flavor...wow it was great! :) missed the peas though hehe. I also used red onion instead of yellow because thats all i had as well, and it made for a nice change. Thanks once again for this recipe :)

Loved this recipe - Not being vegetarian I used chicken stock instead of the 1 cup water.. I enjoyed the blend of spices they were not overpowering but complimented the taters & cauliflower. Instead of regular Pease I used sugar peas cut on the bias - looked great Thanks Kozmic Blues for a great recipe
