Easy Cauliflower Curry Recipe

An easy and delectable Cauliflower Curry Recipe, made with cauliflower, carrots and peas.

Sometimes vegetarian dishes can get mundane. Often I get stuck in a rut, especially when preparing vegetables, and find myself cooking the same thing over and over. Enter this easy and oh so flavorful Cauliflower Curry Recipe.

A few weeks back we were dining at a local restaurant with family. This particular restaurant offers local, seasonal small plates for sharing. One dish we ordered (and subsequently devoured), was a spicy Cauliflower Curry. After a few bites I knew I had to go home and make a version, and soon. So I did. We have since made it a few times, because, not only is it a cinch to make, it is incredibly satisfying. AND, it’s vegetarian. Easy + Tasty + Vegetarian = Win! Win! Win! I like that kind of math, don’t you?

Just how easy is this Cauliflower Curry Recipe? Well, let’s see. Begin by heating some olive oil and butter in a large skillet. So far so good. Stir in the curry powder. Add in cauliflower, carrots and onion; stir to coat vegetables. Continue to cook, stirring, for about 10 minutes. It starts smell good right away! You’ll see.

After 10 minutes of cooking the vegetables, stir in coconut milk, diced tomatoes, some water and basil. Simmer and stir. It’s a thing: “simmer and stir.” That’s about as difficult as this recipe gets. Take a taste and add any salt and pepper to your preference. Finally, reduce the heat, add in the peas (unless they are not your thing), cover and continue to cook for another 20 minutes or until ready to eat.

Serve this Cauliflower Curry warm with rice and/or naan for a scrumptious vegetarian meal that you will find yourself making over and over and again. Just watch and see. Do let me know if you try it and how you like it.
