Cauliflower Curry With Zucchini Recipes

CAULIFLOWER CURRY RECIPE

Steps:

• Clean cauliflower and chop the florets to desired sizes. Optional - heat 3 cups water in a large bowl, add cauliflower florets to the slightly hot water. Leave it for some time. Rinse them under running water and drain them.
• Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard and cumin. When they begin to sizzle add the curry leaves and fry for 30 seconds.
• Add onions and green chilli. Saute until pink or golden.
• Stir in ginger garlic and saute till a nice aroma comes out for about 30 to 60 seconds.
• Then add tomatoes and salt. Saute until the tomatoes turn soft and mushy.
• Add turmeric, red chilli powder, garam masala and coriander powder. Saute for 30 to 60 seconds until the masala smells aromatic.
• Then add cauliflower florets and saute for 1 to 2 mins.
• Pour ½ to 1 cup water or coconut milk and give a good mix. I used 1 cup water at this step. Young cauliflower releases lots of moisture, so be careful not to add a lot of water at one time.
• Cover and cook until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
• If needed add more water or coconut milk to bring the curry to a desired consistency. I added half cup coconut milk at this stage.
• Taste the curry and add more salt if needed. Garnish cauliflower curry with coriander leaves.

CAULIFLOWER CURRY WITH ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Rinse the cauliflower, cut into florets and finely chop the stems. Rinse the squash, cut in half lengthwise then cut into 1 cm (approximately 1/3 inch) thick slices. Peel the shallots, garlic and ginger and finely chop.

Add the cauliflower, tomato juice and coconut milk, cover and simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Sauté the squash in the reserved coconut cream until light golden brown. Add to the curry during the last 5 minutes. Add the lime juice, season with salt and garnish with cilantro.
• Serve with naan, if desired.
