Oven Roasted Curry Cauliflower Soup with Roasted Cauliflower Florets and Ground Chicken Scaloppini - Two Separate Meals with one head of Cauliflower

Curry powder is a spice mix used traditionally in India, Asia, the Caribbean and many other countries as well. A little goes a long way and the flavor is unique and intense. Don’t be intimidated by the ingredients listed in this recipe, I am sure that you have most of these spices in your pantry.
 
My grandma taught me that food tastes based on what you put in the pot. Perhaps that’s the reason why I have been so bold when I cook. One thing is for sure; I am not your salt and pepper girl because if I was, my food would taste the same every time.  Smile.
