Time 1h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 small head cauliflower, broken into florets
1 cup water, divided
4 medium carrots, thinly sliced
3 large cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
2 teaspoons curry powder
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
3 medium tomatoes, chopped
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
2 (15 ounce) cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons golden raisins

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; stir in onion. Cook and stir until onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and continue cooking and stirring until onion starts to turn golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes more.
  • Increase heat to medium-high and stir in cauliflower. Add 1/4 cup water. Cover and steam for 2 minutes. Add carrots and another 1/4 cup water; cover and steam until water evaporates, 2 to 4 minutes.
  • Stir in garlic, ginger, curry powder, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and cayenne. Cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes, remaining 1/2 cup water, cilantro, and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook over medium-high heat until vegetables are tender and extra water has evaporated, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Stir in chickpeas and raisins. Cook until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Taste and adjust for salt, if needed.

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 medium-large cauliflower (about 1 3/4 pounds/800g), trimmed
Sea salt
2 tablespoons sunflower oil
3 onions, chopped
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons ground cumin
A large pinch of dried chile flakes
2 star anise
1 (14-ounce/400g) can plum tomatoes, chopped, any stalky ends and skin removed
1 (14-ounce/400g) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 teaspoons garam masala
A good handful of cilantro, chopped
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Cut the cauliflower into medium florets. Put into a large pan, cover with cold water, add some salt, and bring up to a rolling boil. This will partly cook the cauliflower. Take off the heat right away, drain well, and keep warm in the pan.
  • Heat the oil in a second large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, and ginger and sauté for about 10 minutes, stirring often.
  • Add the ground coriander, cumin, chile flakes, star anise, and some salt and pepper and cook for a further 5 minutes.
  • Add the tomatoes with their juice and the chickpeas. Stir well, then add the parcooked cauliflower. Pour in enough cold water to almost but not quite cover everything (1/3 to 3/4 cup/100 to 200ml) and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the cauliflower is tender.
  • Stir in the garam masala and half of the chopped cilantro, then check the seasoning. Serve scattered with the remaining cilantro and accompanied by rice, flat breads, or naan.

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables and spices will give your curry the best flavor. If you can, buy organic ingredients to avoid pesticides and herbicides.
