Cauliflower Curry Step By Step Recipe

In a pan, heat some oil, add cumin seeds, and let them splutter on medium low heat. 

Next, add asafoetida, ginger, green chillies, onions, and sauté them for 1 minute.  

Add coriander powder, cumin powder, turmeric powder, chili powder, and roast them for about 30 seconds. 

Transfer ¼ cup tomato puree, salt, and mix well. 

Next, add 2 tbsp of water, yogurt, and mix it well. Close the pan with a lid and let the gravy cook for about 5 minutes or until it releases the oil. 

Add 3-4 tbsp of water, coriander leaves, and let the gravy cook for about 3-4 minutes. 

Transfer the cauliflower florets, mix everything well, and cover the pan with a lid. 

Cook the cauliflower florets for about 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. 

Next, add 1 tsp kitchen king masala, mix, and cook for another 1 minute. Garnish with some coriander leaves and serve.

Tips For Making Cauliflower Curry

• Use fresh cauliflower for this recipe to achieve the best taste and texture.
• Cut the cauliflower pieces into equal bite sized pieces to ensure better and even cooking. 

Variations

• You can add some other veggies like potatoes, green peas, and carrots as well. 
• Feel free to add 2-3 crushed garlic cloves in the curry. 
• If you want the curry to be more spicy, you could add some more spices as per your taste. 
• I have used a ready-made tomato puree to give a very beautiful color to the dish. You can use 1 large fresh tomato puree in the recipe. Make sure to cook the tomatoes very well before adding the rest of the ingredients for about 7-10 minutes.
• I love adding Kitchen King Masala in this curry but simply swap it with ½ tsp of garam masala or curry powder.
• You can add some coconut milk for making it a vegan recipe instead of yogurt or some heavy cream.  

How To Store Cauliflower Curry?

Cauliflower curry can be stored easily in the refrigerator for up to 4 days in an airtight container. 

You can store the curry in the freezer safe container for 2 months. After thawing the curry the texture will change a little. Reheat the curry in the microwave safe bowl, stirring after every 1 minute until it becomes piping hot. 

How To Serve Cauliflower Curry?

Serve the cauliflower curry with a roti, naan, or plain paratha. 

This curry goes really well with jeera rice or plain basmati rice along with some Green Split Peas Dal or Spinach Dal.
