Notes
This post is like the cauliflower in this recipe. Nothing but a flavor carrier for the gravy. (One does not serve gravy alone, nor does one post a gravy recipe without a use.)One could use this as a noodle sauce, or a sauce for crispy tofu or god forbid, "Chicken Nuggets".The "punch" of the gravy is the red chili paste and tomatoes. One could dance this with a sweet and sour sauce or my spicy ketchup.
