Gobi Matar Cauliflower Curry Recipe

Try this flavorful Indian gobi matar recipe with cauliflower and green peas. I use a mix of spices to create my own masala for this vegetarian recipe, but you can substitute a store-bought pre-made curry spice mix. This spicy vegan cauliflower curry makes a great side dish or entrée.

1 CAULIFLOWER (cut into florets)
1 15oz can DICED TOMATOES (or 2 med tomatoes)

How To Make Cauliflower Curry

• In a skillet or pot, heat oil on medium high heat.
• Add cumin seeds. Seeds will brown and crack quickly, so almost immediately add onion.
• Add onion and stir.
• Cook 1 minute and then add ginger, garlic, and hot pepper.
• Continue cooking until onions are soft.
• Add turmeric, chili, and coriander powder and mix well.
• Stir in tomatoes and continue cooking 4-5 minutes.
• Add salt to taste.
• Add tomatoes. If using fresh tomato, as tomatoes cook down I like to crush them with a spoon.
• Stir in cauliflower florets.
• Add water and bring dish to a bubble, then reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and let cook 4-5 minutes. I don’t want to cook all the nutrients out of the cauliflower, and I like my florets to still have a bit of crunch to them, so I simmer my cauliflower for only a few minutes.
• When the cauliflower is almost cooked to your liking, add garam masala and green peas.
• Mix and continue cooking until peas are heated through.

And that’s it, your cauliflower and peas are transformed into a delicious vegetable curry.
