Yum! Yum! Yum!

Recently I have introduced several Color Cauliflowers to my readers, I have made Colorful Cauliflower Bake with Purple Cauliflower and made Cauliflower CousCous Salad with Green Cauliflower and today I made this Chili Cauliflower with Orange Cauliflower. If Cauliflower is one common thing in all these recipes, then Low Calorie and Healthy touch is another common thing.

Chili Cauliflower w/ Orange Cauliflower

In original version of this recipe you have to deep fry the battered cauliflowers, use food color, use Ajonomato ( msg) to get the perfect taste and texture for this zesty dish. But I have skipped all these 3 unhealthy steps and still managed to get the beautiful and bright, and sizzling and slurpy appetizer or snack. Thanks to Orange Cauliflower and bringing the natural color to this dish and thanks to my oven for doing it's job and keeping this dish healthy. This recipe almost walks in the same steps of Chili Panner with slight variations. Hope you will like and enjoy this healthy touch to this popular Indo-Chineese dish. Here is the recipe, Njoy!
