Thai baked cauliflower

Oven baked whole cauliflower is probably the easiest and tasiest way to prepare cauliflower. The cooking preparation is thai, as I wanted to serve with rice and noodles. Coconut milk enhances the taste of this recipe.  Think of this as a creamier, richer take on traditional bake. Baked with handful of ingredients, which is an eye appealing dish for your guests, you can make anytime. You can add tandoori colour to make this recipe more bright.
