Notes
Top Tips for Making Cauliflower Curry
- Roast the Cauliflower first. By the time the cauliflower is done roasting it will be time to add it to the pot.
- Reduce the amount of oil to reduce the total calories. Instead of using 2 tablespoons of oil use 2 teaspoons (1 tsp for the cauliflower and 1 tsp for sauteeing the veggies in the pan).
- Cut the cauliflower into small bite sized pieces. This will speed up the roasting time, and make this super easy for little people to enjoy too!
- If you really love the flavor of coriander you can increase the amount of coriander seeds.
- This recipe doesn't need much added salt. Taste before adding any additional salt.
- For some extra protein, add one 15oz can of chickpeas (rinsed & drained) to the dish (note: if you do this, you will have to increase the spices to taste to add flavor to the chickpeas)
