Cauliflower korma curry
Description
Cauliflower korma curry features cauliflower florets and stems that are tossed with garam masala, cinnamon, turmeric, coriander, cumin, salt, and oil, then roasted until caramelized and fork-tender. The korma sauce combines soaked cashews blended with sautéed onions, garlic, ginger, butter, and a mix of spices including garam masala, coriander, cumin, turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon, and chili powder, all enriched with stock and cream. Simmering the roasted cauliflower in this sauce allows the flavors to meld into a smooth, creamy curry.
The roasted cauliflower's caramelized notes complement the rich, mildly spiced cashew sauce, providing a balance of textures — tender vegetable bites and velvety curry. This dish is traditionally served alongside rice or naan bread to soak up the sauce and complete the meal.
Use raw cashews soaked in boiling water briefly before blending for a smooth sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and optional sugar to balance flavors. Toasted cashews may be served atop for extra crunch and garnish.
