Hali Aloo
Hali Aloo is a dish of turmeric roasted potatoes. Research has shown that turmeric blocks tumor growth, stabilizes colorectal cancer when other treatments aren’t working, protects against colitis, stomach ulcers and high cholesterol. Turmeric may help with diabetes and depression as well as certain types of cancer, including prostate, breast, skin and colon. Studies show turmeric may help with neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer disease, Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis.

Curry Roasted Cauliflower
Curry is a mix of spices including turmeric and cumin. The International Research Journal of Pharmacy reports that cumin (Cumin cyminum L.) possesses probable therapeutic benefits because of its antioxidants, anti-inflammatory properties, anti-diabetic potential and cancer-fighting effects. When I cook for guests, I sometimes cook too much; I feel like an inadequate hostess if I run out of food, so feel free to halve this recipe. I started with 2 heads of cauliflower.

This would be a spectacular meal to me! I rarely “need” meat. Not against it, just don’t crave it. At Thanksgiving my plate is all about the side dishes!
I feel the same way! As long as I have a good variety of flavors, I don’t need meat at all!
