Cauliflower Curry


This is a lovely midweek meal to make. I have done my normal version for you but sometimes I add lentils or spinach and peas to change it up. You can eat it with rice or just a good Naan to scoop up the sauce. You can blend the leftovers to make a nice light soup for your lunch the next day. Have fun playing with the recipe and make it your own.


Ingredients

  • 1 Whole cauliflower, broken in small florets
  • 1 tbs Ghee or Oil
  • 1 Onion, chopped
  • 2 Garlic Cloves, chopped
  • 1 thumb size Ginger, chopped
  • 1 tsp Coriander Seeds
  • 1 tsp Fennel Seeds
  • 1 tsp Turmeric
  • 1 tsp Medium Curry Powder
  • 1 tbs Tomato paste
  • 1 Can Coconut Milk
  • 1 cup Vegetable Stock
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a medium size pot. Brown the onions until it is nice and soft then add the ginger and garlic and cook 2 minutes.
  2. Add the Coriander and Fennel Seeds and cook until it is fragrant. About 1 minute before adding the curry powder, turmeric and tomato paste.
  3. Now add the stock and coconut milk and simmer for 15 minutes.
  4. After 15 minutes add the cauliflower and cook for a further 20 minutes until the cauliflower is soft but still have a bit of a bite.
  5. Check the seasoning before serving it with cooked rice or naan.

Note: If you want to add lentils to the dish I normally add them the same time as the cauliflower. I like the lentils cooked but not mushy. About 1/4 – 1/2 cup of lentils should be enough.

The spinach and peas I normally add the last 5 minutes before serving the food. You want your spinach just wilted. I normally add a big hand full of spinach and 1/2 cup of peas. Add as much as you like.
