Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F / 200C.
- Cut the cauliflower into large bite-sized pieces. Add the oil and garam masala to a bowl, add the cauliflower and toss to coat.
- Spread out on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast in the oven until golden, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil and butter in a pot or sautee pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for about 6 minutes until they begin to brown.
- Add the garlic and ginger and cook for a further minute, then stir in the ground cumin, garam masala, ground coriander and chilli powder and cook for a few seconds.
- Stir in the cream, tomato paste and water and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the roasted cauliflower and cook for a further 3 minutes. If you like your curry with more sauce, add a little more water and simmer for a few minutes. Taste, add more chilli powder if desired and season with salt and pepper.
- Serve with rice or naan.
