"This recipe was designed to show how salt can affect the finished item more than imagined, "how salt can reduce bitterness and enhance sweetness." Salt is added in increments, and again at the end until perfection is reached."

I love the flavor of this!! I used a blender and couldn't get the cauliflower to whirl so I had to add a little more milk. I am going to go buy a new food processor (I need a new one, now I have an excuse) so I can make this often. This does create complex flavor. The curry softens and the cauliflower sweetens. It is a lovely recipe! Thanks! -
Loved it! I used Madras curry.
