Red Curry Cauliflower Recipes

CAULIFLOWER CURRY RECIPE

Steps:

• Clean cauliflower and chop the florets to desired sizes. Optional - heat 3 cups water in a large bowl, add cauliflower florets to the slightly hot water. Leave it for some time. Rinse them under running water and drain them.
• Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard and cumin. When they begin to sizzle add the curry leaves and fry for 30 seconds.
• Add onions and green chilli. Saute until pink or golden.
• Stir in ginger garlic and saute till a nice aroma comes out for about 30 to 60 seconds.
• Then add tomatoes and salt. Saute until the tomatoes turn soft and mushy.
• Add turmeric, red chilli powder, garam masala and coriander powder. Saute for 30 to 60 seconds until the masala smells aromatic.
• Then add cauliflower florets and saute for 1 to 2 mins.
• Pour ½ to 1 cup water or coconut milk and give a good mix. I used 1 cup water at this step. Young cauliflower releases lots of moisture, so be careful not to add a lot of water at one time.
• Cover and cook until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
• If needed add more water or coconut milk to bring the curry to a desired consistency. I added half cup coconut milk at this stage.
• Taste the curry and add more salt if needed. Garnish cauliflower curry with coriander leaves.

CAULIFLOWER & POTATO CURRY

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a saucepan. Cook the onion for 10 mins until soft, then add the ginger, garlic, turmeric, cumin and curry powder. Cook for 1 min more. Stir in the tomatoes and sugar. Add the cauliflower, potatoes and split chilli, seasoning to taste. Cover with a lid and gently cook for a good 30 mins, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender - add a drop of water if you need to, but it is meant to be a dry curry.
• When the vegetables are cooked, remove the chilli, if you like, stir in a squeeze of lemon juice and scatter with coriander. Serve with your choice of Indian bread and a dollop of yogurt.
