I am sure almost all of you have tried cauliflower, peas and potato curry, but how about some innovation, guys? After all, regular is boring, isn't it? Today I am going to share a dish which is uber cool and Instagram worthy.
This Cauliflower, Peas and Potato Boat serves as an appetizer as well as an entree. I have air-fried these cute looking boiled cauliflower boats and made a simple filling of leftover scooped boiled potato, cauliflower and green peas. It's a normal North Indian curry, and you can easily use your imagination to change the filling.
I served it two ways, one as an appetizer, and another as a main course dish/entree. I have served this over a tomato cream sauce (a lighter version is shared). This dish is delicious and extremely pretty.
