- One bowl and one pan cooking pan => Everything get mixed in one bowl and then cooked in one pan. Can it get any easier?
- Completely adaptable => I used cauliflower and sweet corn. But you can use any other quick cooking vegetables too – broccoli, juicy bell peppers, green beans all work well too.
- Ticks all the boxes => Hearty, comforting, big on flavour, quick and all the good things.

This recipe definately needs some rewriting. Looks like the idea is to mix all, but the veggies, together. Then stir in the veggies and bake.
I agree with JB – No mention of when vegetable stock goes in.
However, I found adding the veg-stock (tried it twice already) the curry was more a gravy than a sauce; so maybe the veg-stock is an error? Next time I will try without the stock. The cauliflower turned out crispy but the curry is quite mild.
This looks amazing! Would it work in an Actifry do you know? Im not sure if thats the same thing as an air fryer.
Such a clever idea for this cauliflower recipe! So healthy and delish!
