CHAPATI is a round flat unleavened bread of India that is usually made of 
whole wheat flour and cooked on a griddle. AKA roti, rooti, rotee, rotli, 
rotta, safati, shabaati, phulka, chapo, sada roti, poli, and roshi.

I like cauliflower any way it has ever been served to me. From plain ol'
boiled/steramed to tempura and beyod.

      Title: No Complaint Mini Cauliflower Pizzas
 Categories: Pizza, Sauces, Vegetables, Cheese, Herbs
      Yield: 8 Pizzas
 
    1/3 c  Marinara sauce
    1/2 c  Shredded mozzarella cheese
    1/4 c  Pepperoni minis
      2 tb Chopped fresh basil leaves

MMMMM---------------------CAULIFLOWER CRUST--------------------------
      1    Head cauliflower; chopped
      1 lg Egg
    1/3 c  Shredded mozzarella cheese
      2 tb Fresh grated Parmesan
      1 ts Dried basil
    1/2 ts Dried oregano
    1/2 ts Garlic powder
    1/4 ts Onion powder
           Salt & fresh ground pepper
 
  Set oven @ 425ºF/218ºC.
  
  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone
  baking mat; set aside.
  
  To make the cauliflower crust, add cauliflower to the
  bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely ground,
  yielding about 2-3 cups.*
  
  Transfer to a microwave-safe bowl. Cover loosely and
  place into microwave for 4-5 minutes, or until softened;
  let cool.
  
  Using a clean dish towel or cheese cloth, drain
  cauliflower completely, removing as much water as
  possible.
  
  Transfer cauliflower to a large bowl. Stir in egg,
  mozzarella, Parmesan, basil, oregano, garlic powder and
  onion powder; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  
  Using an ice cream scoop, spread cauliflower mixture
  into a circle for each pizza and place onto the prepared
  baking sheet. Spray lightly with nonstick spray and bake
  for 10-12 minutes, or until golden.
  
  Top each cauliflower round with marinara, mozzarella and
  pepperoni minis. Place into oven and cook until the
  cheese has melted, about 3-4 minutes.
  
  Serve immediately, sprinkled with basil, if desired.
  
  * A box grater can also be used.
