Butter Cauliflower Bowls
Description
This dish features basmati rice cooked separately and served beneath a flavorful cauliflower curry. The sauce starts with melting butter and sautéing garlic and onion until translucent, then fresh ginger and a blend of spices (garam masala, chili powder, cumin) are stirred in to release their aromas. Tomato paste and tomato sauce combine with vegetable stock, seasoned with salt and pepper, then simmered to thicken slightly. Cauliflower florets are added to this sauce and cooked until tender. Heavy cream enriches the curry just before finishing, and chopped cilantro is stirred in for freshness. The result is a creamy, mildly spiced vegetable curry that pairs well with the fragrant, fluffy rice beneath.
Serve immediately to enjoy the creamy texture and warm spices together.
