Description

Indian Butter Cauliflower Curry is a creamy, spiced delight featuring tender cauliflower in a rich sauce, perfect for weeknight dinners or festive gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into bite-sized florets
  • 2 tbsp butter or ghee
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece ginger, grated
  • 1 cup canned tomato puree
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp coriander
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • Salt to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cauliflower: Wash and cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets, ensuring they are uniform in size.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent (about 5 minutes). Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger until fragrant (about 1 minute).
  3. Add Spices: Sprinkle in garam masala, cumin, coriander, and turmeric. Toast the spices for about a minute until aromatic.
  4. Create the Sauce: Pour in the canned tomato puree and coconut milk. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Cook Cauliflower: Add the cauliflower florets into the bubbling sauce. Cover and let simmer for about 15 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender but retains some firmness.
  6. Final Touches: Taste your curry and adjust seasoning with salt as needed. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
