Roasted Cauliflower Curry

by Hint of Helen

Roasted cauliflower curry is one of my favourite curries to make. It’s super simple, made with readily available ingredients (frozen cauliflower, tinned tomatoes and coconut milk) and totally delicious.

In this recipe, I use frozen cauliflower florets because they’re always in our freezer and they’re SO much easier than cutting and cleaning a fresh cauliflower. I roast the cauliflower to give it a bit of texture and flavour – else cauliflower can be quite bland honestly – not here though!

This recipe is naturally vegan, so easy to serve for all your family and friends too. It stores well in the fridge for 4 days so makes the perfect packed lunches, and is also freezable for up to a month.

I serve this recipe most often with fluffy white rice and chapatis, but if it’s a weekend treat we’ll enjoy naans with it too. The addition of coconut milk makes the sauce rich and creamy – my favourite type of curry sauce!
