Cauliflower Rogan Josh / Vindaloo

Cauliflower Rogan Josh/ Vindaloo

This is another one of those staple kitchen products mainly kind of things. It can be made cheaply if you already have most of it in your kitchen, and certainly tastes awesome. If you’re not someone who routinely likes legumes, let this be an opportunity to try some. It’s non offensive to vegetarians, and pretty darn filling.

Plus, sometimes it's just too expensive to go buy meat.

METHOD

1. Dice up your onion and garlic nice and small, prepare your stock and cut your cauliflower into florettes. Start your rice straight away.

2. Heat oil in base of large casserole dish or saucepan. Add onion and garlic, stir until fragrant. Add Your choice of Curry paste, stir.

3. Add Stock and frozen peas and corn, as well as chickpeas. Bring to the boil.

4. Reduce temperature to simmer, add cauliflower and stir until well covered. Simmer covered for 5 minutes, any longer and you’ll get soggy curry. If you like a bit more heat, some chilli flakes can provide it if added now.

5. Remove from heat and serve with rice.

NOTE!!!!

If you have friends/housemates/fellow eaters with reflux or GORD!!!

If you have mates who get really crook from spicy food, there’s a couple of things you can do. One is omit the chilli, which is no fun for anyone.

2. IT costs extra, but with some natural yoghurt, spoon about 50gm per person into a bowl and dice up about 1/3 of a large cucumber. Stir this through yoghurt and serve with curry. People add as they wish, and take a bit with every mouthful.
