Caulifower Korma – yet another use for cauliflower

[Toucan]

I’m not really a big veggie fan, but I really enjoyed this recipe and it could easily be adapted for other vegetables.

Break Cauliflower it to bite-sized florets coat with rapeseed (or other) oil and spread them out on a lined baking tray. Cook at 180C for about 20mins, or until they are just cooked but not mushy and nicely browned.

Fry an onion for about 10 mins, then add crushed garlic and grated ginger.

Add chilli powder, garam masala, black pepper, cardamom, black pepper, cook for a couple of mins.

Then add 100g of ground almonds and a drizzle of honey, stir fry for a few minutes.

Then add 250ml of thick full fat Greek yoghurt, turn heat down low and cook for about 10 mins

Tip in cooked cauliflower and stir to coat. Thin the sauce with milk until it is about the consistency of pouring yoghurt.

Serve scattered with a few toasted almonds.

Enjoy!

Hope you enjoy it @Wirralass.
I found it to be quite tasty for not too much effort. Plan to try it with some other veggies, maybe broccoli

Here’s the original recipe and it is delicious.

Doesn’t work quite as well with broccoli but does work brilliantly with sprouts.

I think we have a copy of the same recipe book @ColinUK . There are some really great recipes in it.
I also liked the Kerlan Vegetable Istoo. Do you have any other favourites?

PS I did leave out the blackened raisins on the Korma recipe though as I thought they looked a bit strange!

They add texture and a deep sweetness but I’ll leave them out next time just to avoid the sugars.

I’ve tried Cauliflower rice, but sadly it doesn’t do it for me, maybe doing it wrong. I still like Cauliflower, need to investigate the possibility of a homemade low carb cheese sauce.

@Drummer 's recipe for low carb cauliflower cheese works really well..... par boil cauliflower and then coat in cream cheese (I use a mixture of cream cheese and sour cream and chive dip to make a softer almost pouring consistency and mix in a teaspoon of wholegrain mustard or a good pinch of paprika) and then sprinkle your grated cheese over the top (I use a mixture of Red Leicester, Mature Cheddar and Parmesan) and brown off in the oven or under the grill.

@YMFB have you tried cauliflower mash.... cook cauli and then mash with a spoon of wholegrain mustard (if liked) and a good dollop of cream cheese.

No, but will do. I like the sound of the keto sauces, but I’m not sure my Wife would be that pleased with what sounds like a cholesterol nightmar.

@YMFB
There is new thinking that dietary fat is not directly linked to cholesterol.
I have increased my fat intake ten fold since diagnosis just over a year ago and that includes a lot of saturated fats from fatty meat, full fat dairy and eggs but so far my cholesterol has decreased slightly. That said, I have a normal BMI and I eat very low carb and keep active. I am however not the only member of this forum who has experienced a reduction in cholesterol despite eating more fat.

I love cauli in any curry or Balti ditto white cabbage - the latter was the only vegetarian offering on the menu at Salim's, which was the first or one of the first Balti house in Birmingham - a great lump of Chicken Tandoori, 4 veggie Baltis, and one of their dustbin lid sized naans after we'd spent Friday evening drinking and playing darts with our friends - aah, memories!

Have you tried frying the cauliflower rice? Bit of fat in a pan, onion, garlic, spices etc, quick fry the cauli rice and serve. It dries the rice out and changes the texture whilst adding huge amounts of flavour.

 

[grovesy]

I have never tried Cauli Rice, but I just sprinkle grated cheese on cauliflower.

 

[trophywench]

Yes - I always virtually dry fried it too Colin so if we'd last cooked eg bacon or onions in the pan - even more delicious!
