Ingredients

  • Medium cauliflower, chopped into florets 1 units
  • Oil 2 tablespoons
  • Lemon juice 1 teaspoons
  • Ground cumin 1/2 teaspoons
  • Ground coriander 1/2 teaspoons
  • Garam masala powder 1/2 teaspoons
  • Smoked paprika 1/2 teaspoons
  • Garlic powder 1/2 teaspoons
  • Salt as per taste
  • Tikka Masala sauce 1 cup
  • Non dairy cream (cashew,soy,coconut) 1/4 cup

Instructions

  • If you havent yet, make my Tikka Masala Sauce. To a large bowl, Add the chopped cauliflower florets, drizzle oil and lemon juice and toss well to coat. In a small bowl mix all the spices and salt. Sprinkle the spices all over the cauliflower and toss to coat. Spread the florets on a parchment lined baking sheet or baking dish. Bake at 400 degrees F (205 C) for 25 mins.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat or instant pot on saute mode, combine the tikka masala sauce and baked cauliflower. Add 1/4 cup of non dairy cream if needed. Mix well. Bring to a boil. At this point you can also add in a cup or more chickpeas for added protein. Cook for about 3-4 mins. Taste and adjust salt and flavor.
  • Garnish with fenugreek leaves or cilantro. Sprinkle some smoked paprika or cayenne (really important for a smoky flavor). Take off heat. Then let the mixture sit for another few mins before serving. Serve with Naan, flatbreads or rice.
