Cauliflower caldine

A mild coconut juice curry lightly spiced excellent for cooking vegetables like cabbage, turnips,raddish,green beans, ladyfingers, bottle gourd.

The coconut is ground and the juice is extracted and mixed with mild ground spices to make a creamy gravy.This vegetable curry is mostly prepared in Goan homes with or without prawns.I have used fresh prawns to give it a delicious flavour
