Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head (cut into bite-sized florets) Cauliflower
- 1 cup Green peas (fresh or frozen)
- 1 large (finely chopped) Onion
- 2 large (finely chopped or pureed) Tomatoes
- 4 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 inch piece (grated) Ginger
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
- 0.25 teaspoon Red chili powder (optional)
- 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) Salt
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Heat vegetable oil in a large pan or skillet over medium heat.
Add cumin seeds and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds until aromatic.
Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in garlic and ginger, and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the turmeric, coriander powder, garam masala, and red chili powder (if using). Sauté the spices for about 30 seconds to release their flavors.
Stir in the chopped or pureed tomatoes and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oil begins to separate from the mixture.
Add the cauliflower florets and green peas to the pan. Mix well to coat the vegetables with the spice mixture.
Pour in the coconut milk and water. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan with a lid, and let the curry simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and the sauce has thickened.
Season with salt, adjusting to taste.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Serve the cauliflower and green pea curry hot with steamed rice, naan, or flatbread.
