-
Starting with the cauliflower: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Add the cauliflower florets to a large bowl.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, turmeric, and kosher salt until fully incorporated.
-
Drizzle the turmeric and olive oil mixture over the cauliflower florets in the bowl, and toss until the oil coats all of the florets.
-
Transfer the cauliflower to the baking sheet, and bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes, tossing halfway through baking. You want the cauliflower to still have a bite in it, as we will be cooking it with the masala.
-
Remove the cauliflower from the oven and set aside.
-
Now for the masala: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the Montys Plant-Based Butter, and swirl it in the pan until it melts and small, gorgeous bubbles start to form.
-
Add the diced yellow onion and cook in the melted butter for about 3-5 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent, tender, and lightly brown.
-
When the onion is tender and translucent, add the minced garlic and grated ginger and cook with the onions.
-
When the ginger and garlic have cooked in with the onions after a few minutes, it’s time for the masala! Add the garam masala, cumin, turmeric, cayenne, and kosher salt. Cook the spices with the onions for about 2 minutes.
-
Now add the tomato paste. Brown the tomato paste with the onions for a few minutes.
-
Now, add the canned, crushed tomatoes. Cook with the onions and tomato paste until the tomatoes darken and color and begin to reduce, about 5-7 minutes. You don’t want any of that “raw” tomato smell!
-
It’s time for the coconut milk! Add it in and cook with the tomatoes for about 5-10 minutes. Season to taste with salt.
-
Use an immersion blender and blend the curry to achieve a creamy, smooth consistency.
-
Finally, add the cauliflower. Simmer and cook the cauliflower in the curry until it becomes tender.
-
Garnish with cilantro and serve with naan and/or rice.
