Delicious, warming, sublime, complex and lovely...just a few of the words used to describe this rogan josh. Its simple to make sauce is like a sauce sent down from heaven as the coconut blends with the spices and the cloves. The cauliflower and the butterbeans are a perfect combination. You feel thoroughly spoilt after eating it. Please make this for yourself..soon. lol
Crikey how I wish I could say that this was my recipe...I wish I was that good at creating food that tastes this divine. The creator of this recipe is Barbara Cousins and it's from her fantastic cook book Vegetarian Cooking Without
This cook book is great for people who are trying to eliminate gluten, sugar, yeast, dairy products, meat, fish and saturated fat. Quite a few years ago I had to ditch sugar, dairy and yeast so this cook book was a life line along with Rose Elliots Low Fat, Low Sugar. I still use them both every week and they are looking a little battle worn now..lol. Every recipe I have tried in this book has been so good...well..with the exception of the PMS 'Feel Good' Cake..yikes that was bad..but one recipe out of so many good ones isn't so bad, eh? lol.
