1 Tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated
3 Tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
2 Tbsp vegetable oil (or ghee)
2 c onion, diced
1 can(s) diced tomatoes, drained (14 1/2 oz)
1 Tbsp ground cumin
1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
1 Tbsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/4 tsp ground cardamom

1 tsp salt
2 can(s) chickpeas, rinsed and drained (15 oz each)

Uncover cauliflower and boil off any excess liquid. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice mixture. Combine cauliflower with chickpea mixture and add chopped cilantro.
  • 5. If desired, serve over rice or serve as is with Naan bread on the side.

I'm not a big fan of cauliflower, but I really enjoyed this dish. The sauce is so flavorful that it masks the taste of the cauliflower.

This recipe is a bit spicy for my taste, but it's still very good. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.
