Article first published as Cauliflower Curry on Blogcritics.

If there’s a cuisine I wish I could cook more often in my kitchen, it would be Indian. I love the depth of flavors this cuisine has and it seems the right combination of spices and proper ratios is a skill I need to work on. When my friend Sara brought this Cauliflower Curry to the recent potluck playdate I hosted, it was a wonderful addition to the table. I’m usually not a fan of cauliflower but this dish makes me want to eat cauliflower more! The blend of spices is spot on and it’s a flavorful vegetarian dish that holds it own…

Like most Indian cooks, measuring ingredients isn’t usually done. Cooking is more about the senses and how things taste, look and feel versus the scientific approach of measuring. However the following recipe captures the tastes perfectly! This is a good introduction to Indian cuisine if you’re looking to dabble a bit…

Cauliflower Curry
recipe adapted from Food

1/3 cup water
1 small cauliflower, cut into 1/2 inch chunks
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 sweet onion, chopped fine (8-10 oz)

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 (15 ounce) cans chickpeas, drained
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can fire roasted tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon turmeric

    Hey Joelen,
    I'm Chef Corey from Family Fresh Meals. I just started a new Recipe of The Week Linky. This recipe would be perfect for the first week theme CROCKPOT. Two of my favorite things… cauliflower & curry.mmmm SO, each week will be a new theme. Once this Recipe of the Week gets going, I would LOVE to do a random gift card giveaway each week. But I am going to need a good amount of posts to start that, so come join the fun each week. At the end of the week, a recipe/blog will be picked at random to be the featured recipe for the following week. Hope you stop by and join!
