This is a quick weekday curry. Ideal for rotis/phulkas. When we hear creamy we always relate to the involvement of cream in a dish. But it not necessarily be so.
Cauliflower when blended is creamy in nature. That is why cauliflower soup is creamy and need not require additional cream. I have made use of this property of cauliflower to create this healthy and quick curry.
