This easy Indian dish offers a fabulous change of pace from plain old mashed potatoes. Roasting the cauliflower and potatoes adds both color and a deeper layer of flavor. Leave the potato peel on or off—the choice is yours—and mash the ingredients to your preferred level of smoothness. Leftovers make a great vegetarian patty. Coat a skillet with cooking spray and about 1 teaspoon oil; set over medium-high heat. When the oil shimmers, scoop about 1/3 cup of the mash into the skillet and flatten it into a patty. Cook until golden on each side, flipping once, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
