1 cauliflower including the leaves and stalk, chopped into even-sized florets
salt
chilli powder
turmeric
sugar
garam masala
70g tomato purée
1 green chilli
1 tbsp dried fenugreek leaves
1 tbsp butter
Method
– Add 100ml oil to a hot pan. Add the onions and ½ the cashews. Cook on medium heat for 6-8 minutes until they’re golden.
– Preheat the oven to 200°C / 180°C with a fan.
– Place the cauliflower onto a baking tray and coat in 2 tbsp of oil. Add 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp chilli powder, 1 tsp turmeric powder. Toss well and roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes.
– Once the onions are cooked, turn off the heat and use a sieve over a bowl to drain the excess oil.
– Transfer the onions to a blender and add ½ tsp salt, ½ tsp sugar, 1 tsp garam masala, the tomato purée, 200ml water and the green chilli. Blitz until smooth.
– Pour the purée back into the same pan. Use 50ml water to dislodge the remaining purée from the blender. Bring it to a boil.
– Add the fenugreek leaves, roasted cauliflower, and 100ml water. Stir through.
– Add ½ tsp turmeric powder, and ½ tsp chilli powder. Mix well.
– Add the butter and remain cashews to a small hot pan. Cook until golden.
– Serve the curry with a sprinkle of the buttered cashews.
