Cauliflower is without a doubt one of the most impressive vegetables.
It’s versatile, nutritious and it’s the hero in many vegan recipes.
Roasting the cauliflower florets essentially caramelises their edges, which brings a wonderful flavour to this curry.
Here are the important things to know:
- You can use any type of vegan yoghurt. Coconut-flavoured yoghurt would also work or simply substitute for a vegan cream.
- We add sugar to the sauce, which balances the bitterness in the tomatoes. However, if you want to leave this out, simply cook the sauce for longer until the bitter flavour is gone.
- Aubergine will also work really well here. Simply roast chunks like we do with the cauliflower, then stir it in at the end when the sauce is ready.
- If you can’t find curry powder, you can substitute with ground cumin or cumin seeds.
Enjoy!
