About

Flāvar is a Gujarāti term for cauliflower, which is paired with green peas in this classic recipe. I call for roasting the cauliflower because roasting truly transforms it and accentuates its wonderful texture and flavor. This shāk is best served with Rotli or Parāthā, but it’s also delicious on its own or mixed with Whole Moong Dāl and rice.
