Why It's Good For You
Cauliflower is a rich source of potassium, vitamin C, and glucosinolates. Glucosinolates are sulfur-containing compounds that give cauliflower its pungent smell and flavor. Glucosinolates activate the body's detoxification system, and research suggests that they may play a role in preventing various types of cancer.
Garam masala is a blend of spices commonly used in Ayurvedic cooking. Garam masala is said to "heat the body", meaning it raises body temperature and adds a warming component to meals. Health benefits of garam masala include boosting immunity, promoting weight loss, helping with digestive processes, alleviating pain and lowering blood sugar levels.
