Description

Experience the creamy comfort of Indian Butter Cauliflower Curry, where tender cauliflower florets are enveloped in a luscious, spiced sauce that delights the senses.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 can (14 oz) whole or crushed tomatoes
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp ground turmeric

Instructions

  1. Rinse and cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic and ginger.
  2. In a large pan over medium heat, melt the butter until bubbly. Add onions and sauté until translucent (about 5 minutes). Stir in garlic and ginger until fragrant.
  3. Sprinkle cumin, coriander, and turmeric into the pan. Stir well to coat the onions and let them toast for about one minute.
  4. Pour in canned tomatoes with their juices. Stir together and bring to a simmer to develop a rich sauce.
  5. Gently fold in cauliflower florets, ensuring they are well-coated with the sauce. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes or until tender.
  6. Stir in coconut milk for creaminess and cook uncovered for a few more minutes until slightly thickened.
