Ingredients
Cauliflower and spices
- 1 cauliflower head medium size
- 1 tbsp veggie broth
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp cumin
- 0.5 tsp ground coriander
- 0.5 tsp garam masala
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
Sauce
- 1 large onion, diced
- 0.5 tsp cumin seeds
- 4 - 5 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 inch piece of ginger, minced or grated
- 1 tsp ground coriander, optional
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 0.25-0.5 teaspoon cayenne
- 1 tsp paprika powder
- 0.5 tsp sea salt
- 0.5 chopped red bell pepper
- 2 cans (14oz / 400g) diced tomatoes, with juices
- 2-3 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 can (15oz/ 420g ) coconut milk
Preparation
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Cut the cauliflower into medium-sized florets.
In a large bowl, mix the cauliflower florets with veggie broth, lemon juice, salt, cumin, ground coriander, garam masala, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika until well coated.
Spread the cauliflower on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and tender.
Making the sauce
While the cauliflower is roasting, heat a large pan over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cumin seeds, cooking until the onion is translucent.
Add the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the ground coriander (if using), turmeric, garam masala, cayenne, paprika powder, and sea salt, cooking for a minute to release the flavors.
Add the chopped red bell pepper, diced tomatoes with their juices, and tomato paste. Stir well to combine.
Pour in the coconut milk and bring the sauce to a simmer. Let it cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Combining
Once the cauliflower is roasted, add it to the sauce, stirring gently to coat the florets in the sauce.
Let everything cook together for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired, alongside rice or naan bread for a complete meal.
