My cauliflower curry – vegan, simple, delicious!

I’ve had some cauliflower and fresh spinach leaves in my fridge for a while, which absolutely had to be used. That’s how the idea for this delicious cauliflower curry recipe came about. What I love about curry dishes is their variety, simplicity and, of course, the fact that they taste so delicious. Above all, curry dishes are great for avoiding meat from time to time. That’s exactly why I’m making this delicious vegan curry today. I baked the cauliflower briefly in the oven beforehand, which gives this dish a very special flavor thanks to the roasted aromas it produces.

Vegan curry – The ingredients

In addition to cauliflower and spinach leaves, I have used some spices here, such as garam masala and coriander powder, which in my opinion should not be missing in any curry. Of course, my beloved garlic and ginger paste should not be missing here either, for which I crush the ginger and garlic briefly in my mortar. Chopped tinned tomatoes and coconut milk make for a creamy sauce. Instead of canned tomatoes, you can also use strained tomatoes or fresh tomatoes. Just see what your pantry has to offer :).

Tips, tricks & variations

Monitor baking time: Keep an eye on the cauliflower florets in the oven to ensure they are evenly golden brown. Turn them halfway through to ensure even browning on both sides.
Garlic and ginger paste: Preparing a fresh garlic and ginger paste contributes significantly to the flavor. If you want to save time, you can also use pre-made paste, but freshly prepared paste often gives a more intense flavor.
Adjust the spices: Adjust the amount of spices to suit your taste. If you like it spicier, increase the amount of chili powder. Experiment with the spices to adjust the curry to your preferences.
Variations with protein: The curry can be versatile. Try different sources of protein, as suggested – chickpeas, chicken or tofu. These additions will make the dish even more nutritious and filling.
Serving suggestion: Serve the cauliflower curry with rice or naan bread to soak up the delicious sauce. A squeeze of lemon juice just before serving can add a refreshing touch to the dish.
Store leftovers: The curry can be stored well and enjoyed the next day. The flavors often develop even more intensely. Make sure to seal it airtight and store it in the fridge.
Creativity: Have fun cooking and don’t be afraid to be creative. You can add more vegetables or adjust the spices to adapt the recipe to your personal taste.
