Savor the rich, creamy flavors of Indian Butter Cauliflower Curry, where tender cauliflower florets meet a spiced tomato-coconut sauce—perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 23 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 inch fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp curry powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1. Preheat Your Pan: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add butter and melt until bubbly but not browned.
  2. 2. Sauté Onions: Add finely chopped onion to the melted butter. Sauté until translucent and soft, about five minutes.
  3. 3. Add Garlic and Ginger: Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
  4. 4. Mix in Tomatoes and Spices: Pour in crushed tomatoes along with curry powder. Stir and let simmer for about five minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. 5. Bring on the Creaminess: Add coconut milk while stirring gently to combine all ingredients into a smooth sauce.
  6. 6. Add Cauliflower: Fold in cauliflower florets until coated with sauce. Cover and let simmer for about ten minutes or until fork-tender but still firm.
  7. 7. Serve: Transfer to plates and enjoy with steamed rice or warm naan.
