Lemon and Honey Cauliflower

I liked the taste of honey chilli cauliflower I ate last time. We had visited a neabry mall and bought some takeaway dinner which consisted of crunchy ,sweet and  slightly spicy honey chilli cauliflower fritters….and of course...my usual paneer butter masala with chapathis.

 I had about half of a big cauliflower I had bought when I made biriyani the other day. I was eager to recreate the taste of the honey chilli Gobi fritters I had bought.

My travel through the net landed me in a recipe that seemed to be somewhere close to the fritters I mentioned above. Something called lemony, chilli, honey cauliflower. A pretty long name….Well what turned out of the recipe dint taste like the cauliflower I bought from outside but it produced a totally different type of cauliflower dish. And I loved that too.

Sprinkled with sesame seeds and both spicy and sweet at the same time this cauliflower preparation goes well with chapathis,noodles or fried rice…..want to try it out?
