If you like Indian food, there are tons of recipes that include cauliflower. Control the oil to your needs. You really don't need much if you use non-stick pans.
Also, you don't need to have all spices. Just get a basic garam masala powder or curry powder and you are set.

and just a note to those that like cauliflower...you can eat the green leaves and stalk that are on the base of the cauliflower. I see so many recipes that say to cut them off and throw them out, but they are tasty and have the same high quality nutrition as the main part of the cauliflower. I chop them and the stem and put them into stir fry or steam them.0

I made cauliflower chicken shiritaki pasta with sundried tomato pesto (and a sprinkling of parmesian)... last night. SOOOOO good.
1 bag frozen cauliflower.
1 bag shiritaki noodles
2 rotisserie chicken breasts (chopped)
1 small jar - sundried tomato pesto (I used Priano brand).
cheese before serving...
comes out to 2 servings - and so I had lunch today, too... SO yummy.0 -
I too have become a fan of Cauliflower, and this is one of the recipes I like to use:
Ingredients:
1 head of cauliflower
1 cloves of garlic, peeled and coarsely minced
Lemon juice from half a lemon(optional)
1 Tbsp Olive oil
1 Tbsp Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
½ cup Parmesan cheese
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut cauliflower into florets and put in a single layer in an oven-proof baking dish. Toss in the garlic. Sprinkle lemon juice over cauliflower and drizzle each piece with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. If the oven hasn't reached 400°F yet, set aside until it has.
Place casserole in the hot oven, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is lightly brown. Test with a fork for desired doneness. Fork tines should be able to easily pierce the cauliflower. Remove from oven and sprinkle generously with Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.

I love it "riced". The easiest way I have found to get it to the right consistency is to chop it coarsely and toss it in my Ninja ( I imagine any blender would work) and cover it with water. Pulse it until it is all chopped into small rice sized bits. Pour it through a colander to drain and there you have it. Easy Peasy I stir fry it in a pan on medium heat with whatever seasonings and veggies that I want in it. The possibilites are pretty endless really. It isnt rice...but its a good lo cal, lo carb alternative. Top it with whatever you would normally use rice for...yummy.

I love using it instead of rice, it's so clever!
Also goes great in curries instead of meat, bulks it up and fills you up too!
Cauliflower puree works well with loads of meals. And my personal fave is this...

This: http://www.cookingclassy.com/2013/09/roasted-cauliflower-white-cheddar-soup-homemade-bread-bowls/ is WONDERFUL. Not so low cal though.0

My favorite form of cauliflower is pickled. In a sweet mix, or in giardiniera - both are good. (If you like salt and vinegar, try giardiniera)
Must admit that when I have cauliflower these days, more often than not it's the SteamFresh Lightly Seasoned Garlic Cauliflower...0 -
Roasted with broccoli, using olive oil, S and P, and Garlic powder... Once done, sprinkle a little Parmesan or Romano cheese. Just keep an eye on it when roasting so that it doesn't exceed your tenderness/crispness preference.0

Chop, drizzle with a little oil, generously coat with black pepper, garlic powder and ceyenne and roast in a hot oven until it starts to brown. Heaven!0

As a healthier cooking alternative to olive oil, roast using Refined Coconut Oil (make sure it is refined, otherwise it will taste like coconut). Not only is refined coconut oil super healthy for you but it also does not oxidize at very high temperature, so roasting/broiling works really great. And I promise you, it will NOT taste like coconuts!0

I completely love cauliflower (I always have cauliflower for my birthday meal, yummy). At this moment I really like this recipe
http://www.volrecepten.nl/click/index/3814327/?site=soepkipje.blogspot.nl .
It is in Dutch, so I will translate:
You will need:
1 Cauliflower (chopped into bite-sized pieces)
5 tbsp olive oil (you can use less, I usually use 3)
1 tsp curry powder (I usually use way more like 10)
1 tsp cumin grounded (i usually use 5)
.25 tsp garlic powder
0.5 tsp turmeric
0.5 tsp coriander grounded
0.5 tsp ginger
pinch of chili powder
Optional homemade low cal tzatziki
Put the cauliflower in a bowl (one with a lid is easier), add all the other ingredients, put on the lid, mix real hard. Put on a baking sheet. Then put in the oven for about 30 min (180C or 350F).
I like to make so low cal tzatziki and use it as a dip.
