About Cauliflower Curry

This vegan curry has its roots in India, where cauliflower (gobi) is a widely popular ingredient to make a quick stir-fry or curry.

The coconut gravy is native to the coastal regions of India, such as Goa, Kerala, or Mumbai, where coconuts are found in abundance.

The coconut milk does a fantastic job of making the curry saucy and finger-licking good.

This vegetarian yellow curry is everything! One can eat spoons of it by itself or grab a bit of bread and start digging into it right at the stovetop – it is that delicious!

Ingredients For Cauliflower Curry

Ingredients Required

Here are the ingredients required to make a delicious homemade gobi curry at home:

Fresh or frozen Cauliflower

Potato – one can use sweet potato as well.

Green Peas – you can use fresh or frozen peas. If using frozen peas, no need to thaw them. Add directly towards the end in the curry.

Ginger

Onion – it is best to use red onion for its sharp taste.

Tomato Puree – if tomato puree is not available, grind two small – size tomato in a blender.

Coconut Milk – or use cashew/almond milk for a sweet and creamy taste.

Salt, Turmeric Powder, Black Pepper

Curry Powder – a key, multi-purpose Indian spice mix for every curry. Use readymade curry powder or make it at home from scratch.

Coconut Oil or olive oil

Add-On Suggestions:

You can customize the cauliflower curry by adding these ingredients – chopped spinach, kale, sweet potato, squash, yellow pumpkin, or canned chickpeas.

Curry Base

The base of this Indian style yellow curry is – onion, tomato puree, and coconut milk. That’s it. You need only 3 ingredients to make a creamy gobi curry at home.

The flavor of the curry comes from ginger and the curry powder.

The addition of turmeric powder gives a golden color to the curry. You don’t need a plethora of spices to make this curry. Only a teaspoon of curry powder is sufficient.

Recipe Notes

Start with chopping all the vegetables and grating ginger.

Arrange the tomato paste, coconut milk, and spices next to the stovetop. Because once you start cooking the curry, all these ingredients need to be added quickly.

Thaw Frozen Vegetables as per packet instructions except for green peas, before adding them into the curry.

Pick a heavy bottom casserole or a saucepan for cooking the curry. Don’t go for non-stick kind of pots and pans. For sauteeing the masala without burning, we need a heavy-duty cooking pot.

Substitute Curry Powder with a mix of 1/4 teaspoon red chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, and 1/2 teaspoon Garam Masala.

Adjust the amount of black pepper powder as per personal preference to make the curry more or less spicy.

Is Cauliflower Curry Healthy?

Gobi Curry is a wholesome, gluten-free, dairy-free vegetarian curry.

It is a fabulous healthy main-course stew for those who are following a plant-based diet. It is light on the stomach and suitable for the kids as well.

To increase the protein quotient of the curry, one can add chickpeas, red beans, or any other variety of local whole beans/peas.
