This is another favorite vegetable side dish. .
1. Grind up some coriander and cumin seeds a couple of teaspoons of each. I used to use a pestel and mortar but now use my coffee grinder more often
.
2. Roughly chop a few cloves of garlic
.
3.Grind with some slat and olive oil and it turns into a paste
.
4.Then mix the cumin coriander and garlic paste over the broccoli and cauliflower and roast in the oven for about 15 minutes. This is excellent as a side dish with any meal.
