Cauliflower Broccoli Bake

Yes, it is number 100. It has taken me longer than planned to reach this milestone. But I have found a reasonable excuse for this delay. That there is a time for everything, and things happen when they are supposed to. Please let's not call this procrastination but call it perfect timing. 

Simple is beautiful. This recipe stands for that. No toiling time required at all. 




I took about half a cauliflower and a medium sized broccoli. Snipped to have florets with a bit of stem. Washed well. Steamed for 5 mins in medium heat in salt water. Drained the water out. 

An hour before, you need to take a 400 gm tub of yogurt and hang it in a muslin cloth. Back to the present. Now with a fork gently soften the yogurt. Mix 3 tbsp grated cheddar cheese, 2 tsp chopped parsley, 1/2 tsp chilli flakes, 1/2 garlic salt (use normal salt if you don't have garlic salt) into the yogurt. Now gently mix the florets in this sauce. Sprinkle some more grated cheddar cheese and parsley and bake till golden. I kept it at 150 degrees for 20 min. But it depends upon your oven. 

Dig in and prove Mark Twain wrong. Didn't he say, "Cauliflower is nothing but a cabbage with a college education'?
