This was our dinner for tonight. I decided right on seeing this that I had to make it for dinner tonight. I'm so glad I did! Instead of making this as a soup, I made this as our main course vegetable. I cut down on the oil by 1 tbsp. and used 2 tsps. of freshly ground cumin seeds instead of 1 tsp. I omitted the cauliflower florets altogether. I used 1 1/2 tsps. of salt. My family enjoyed this with hot rotis(Indian flatbreads) and I loved it with warm white bread. Thank you for sharing this. It's going to be a regular on our table!
