Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp butter use Earth Balance or coconut oil for vegan
- 1 yellow onion chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 Jalapeño finely chopped
- 2- inch piece fresh ginger peeled and minced
- 3 Tbsp garam masala
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 28-oz can crushed tomatoes
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1 head cauliflower chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 1 14-oz can full-fat coconut milk
For serving:
- basmati rice
- frozen peas
- chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large pan over medium-low heat. Add onions, garlic and jalapeno and saute until onions are translucent and begin to turn brown around the edges, 6-7 minutes. Add ginger, garam masala, and salt, and saute another 30-60 seconds. Stir in crushed tomatoes and sugar. Cover and bring to a simmer.
- Stir in chopped cauliflower. Don't worry if it seems like there's no liquid left; this will change as the cauliflower cooks. Simmer until cauliflower is tender, about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat and stir in coconut milk. Serve over basmati rice with peas on the side, and plenty of chopped cilantro. Enjoy!
