Red Lentil and Cauliflower Curry Recipe #328478
This is based on a recipe from Veganomicon. I made substitutions and modifications out of necessity but it turned out so awesomely delicious that I decided I wouldn't even try the original recipe as written! This is best served over hot brown rice. Delicious!
