Notes
- Make sure to check on the cauliflowers at 20 mins mark. If they get burned too fast, reduce the heat by 10 deg. Take them out & turn them over.
- Don't get rid of the baked cracklings on the baking sheet. Scrape them with a wooden spoon and get them all out. They add nice taste & texture to the cauliflower.
- You can use any sugars. The darker the sugar, the better. I used Jaggery. You can also use molasses. But I think Jaggery is the best and its also healthier than regular sugar.
