[...] It’d probably be pretty easy to adapt this to a less caloric model by roasting instead of frying the cauliflower and using less fat in the spice paste. (Mizducky, you’re the cauliflower queen — comments?) And I think you could finish it in a solar oven. The general method is a lot like that of Eggplant Oop.
