I know, thats one too many cauliflower and beet salads in a row. But then, I love this combo and I had both these veggies at hand. I had to make them!
This one comes with a different dressing, and is cooked differently, to add novelty to my palate which is getting bored quite soon these days… am not blaming it, given the food am feeding myself, these salads are the only bright part of my day.

I get so excited to see your new vegan recipe! I adore them! The Spicy cauliflower & Beet salad looks and sounds divine! I have never heard of mustard oil... or is it the same as mustard?
ReplyDeleteHey Rika,

Mustard is not same as mustard oil. The latter is extracted from the mustard seeds and is a staple in most East Indian households. I use it for the beautiful flavour it gives to any dish, and this can be used raw also, without the need to be heated.
Look for cold-pressed mustard oil in any Indian stores or organic stores.
Thanks for the awesome tip! I never knew there's a mustard oil... I guess I need to study more about Indian spices >___< but here you are, you're my tutor!
DeleteYes! :D
