CAULIFLOWER CURRY

 

RECIPE from kwestiasmaku.com (with small modification)

Serves 2-3

INGREDIENTS:

400ml (good quality) coconut milk  - I like organic KINGFISHER

5 shallots,chopped

350g cauliflower, sliced into small wedges

3 cloves of garlic,crushed

1 chilli(or more if you like it more spicy), chopped

1 1/2 TBSP turmeric

1 1/2 TBSP cumin

1 TBSP coriander 

seeds from 3 cardamon pods

pinch of cinnamon 

pinch of freshly grated ginger

60-70 ml water

salt

olive oil

Serve with: rice, basil and lime wedges

METHOD:

1.In a big pan fry onions with a little bit of olive oil for a couple of minutes.In a meantime steam a cauliflower ''al dente'' - when it's not quite soft yet.

2.In a small bowl mix herbs and spices:chilli,garlic,turmeric,cumin,coriander,cardamon seeds,cinnamon and ginger.Add water and mix into a smooth paste and mix it with the onions,still frying.

3. Spoon the coconut milk in and bring it to boil.The coconut milk that I use has to be mixed before use as the water separates from the coconut - it's normal! ;)

4.Season with salt and mix the cauliflower into curry.Let it cook until cauliflower is soft.

PERFECTLY COOKED BROWN RICE:

Cover 140g brown basmati rice with 450ml cold water.Bring to boil, then turn the heat down to minimum, season with salt and put the lid on. Cook for around 25-30 minutes, or until the water evaporated.Don't stir until ready ;)
