Add the puree and cook uncovered for 15-18 minutes or until it gets dry and clumpy. Reduce heat to low-medium after 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to avoid burning.
- Meanwhile, chop up the cauliflower and rice(chop) it in a blender or food processor or grate. Slice the red bell peppers and other veggies if adding.
- Add the grated cauliflower and red bell pepper to the dry onion cilantro curry. Mix well to evenly distribute and cook for 2 minutes on medium heat. Add peas and a 1/2 cup of water(add almond milk for creamier version), lemon juice and salt. Cover and cook for 6-8 minutes. Mix and adjust salt and spice/cayenne. Cook uncovered to dry the curry a bit to preference or until the cauliflower is tender to preference. 3-5 minutes. Serve hot with Naan/flatbread or rice or grains or fill up tacos or lettuce leaves.
Notes
- To use tempeh instead of cauliflower, cook cubed tempeh with water, salt, and garam masala; crumble and add to the curry in place of cauliflower.
- For enhanced flavor, dry roast fennel, cumin seeds, and black peppercorns before blending with other ingredients.
- The curry pairs well with naan, rice, grains, tacos, or lettuce wraps.
