Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 small cauliflower, head -- broken into florets
(1 1/2 pounds)
3 cups water
1 tablespoon salt -- or to taste
1 cup frozen peas -- tiny
2 cups plain low-fat yogurt
1 large garlic clove -- finely minced
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper -- or more to taste

1. In a large pot over high heat, bring the water with 2 teaspoons of the
salt to a boil, drop in the cauliflower florets and the frozen tiny peas,
return to a boil, and cook for only 2 minutes. Drain in a colander and run
under cold water to stop the cooking and cool. Let the vegetables drain in
the colander while you prepare the dressing.
2. In a serving bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients, whisking
until the mixture is creamy. Fold in the vegetables gently to coat. Serve
immediately or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 4 hours,
lightly tossing again before serving.
