Slow Roasted Cauliflower

Friends,Today I'm sharing an easy and very tasty cauliflower recipe.I have quite some good memories related to this particular cauliflower.

Life is going very fast that we don't have time to think about anything.But when we get a chance to think about past,it brings lot of old stories along with a tear drop as we miss them now.

During holidays, in my home town Tirunelveli, I and my sister used to go along with my mom to the vegetable market named Gandhi market in Town.I was not interested in food those days.On the other hand my sister will go and pick fresh mint , cauliflower every single time we visit there.My mom will ask her 'Are you crazy or what ?Why do you pick cauliflower always? Its tough to clean as it might have some worms inside'.But she will say 'Its ok mom. I will help you '.

This scene  always flashes in my mind ,when I pick a cauliflower.Now years have rolled by and she has 2 girls who are helping her in her kitchen :)

Coming back to this dish, as I mentioned its very simple and time saving recipe which doesn't need you to stand by and check often.
