Tips
- Steam or roast any veggies you have on hand to transform this into a complete meal.
- There’s a task in the kitchen for all family members! Ask little chefs to help you measure out all ingredients before you start cooking.
- For a less spicy meal, simply use less chili powder.
- Instead of rice, toss cauliflower florets in the same masala spices and roast in the oven for 20 minutes or until tender.
