Are you ready for a party in your mouth? Because I’ve got something good for ya!

You guys – this dish. Oh my gosh, this dish. It is damn good, and I don’t say that lightly.

As someone who used to despise Indian cuisine, I can’t believe I’m saying this, but this is one of the best entrees I’ve made in a very, very long time!

Author: Vegan Insanity
Recipe type: Entree
Cuisine: Indian
Serves: 4
Ingredients
Cauliflower
  • 4 cups cauliflower (chopped into bite-size pieces)
  • 1 tbsp oil (I used avocado oil)
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp tandoori seasoning
  • ½ tsp salt
Sauce
  • 2 tbsp oil (I used olive oil)
  • 1 small onion (diced)
  • 3 large garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp turmeric
  • 1 tsp coriander
  • ¾ tsp cumin
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • 4 cups crushed tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425F.
  2. While oven is heating up, add chopped cauliflower, 1 tbsp oil, lemon juice, tandoori seasoning and salt to a large bowl. Mix well so that all of the cauliflower pieces are coated.
  3. Add cauliflower to a baking sheet and cook in pre-heated oven for about 15 minutes, or until lightly browned.
  4. In a large skillet, add 2 tbsp oil and heat on medium heat. Once warmed, add onions and cook until translucent, about 10 minutes. Add garlic, ginger, chili powder, turmeric, coriander, cumin, and cinnamon, and mix well. Add crushed tomatoes, and mix until combined.
  5. Simmer on medium heat for about 15 minutes, then add coconut milk and sugar. Mix well and cook for another 5 minutes or until the sauce has thickened. Add salt & pepper to taste, then add in the cooked cauliflower and cook until everything is heated through.
  6. Serve over rice, quinoa or grain of your choice (I used basmati rice).

    I’m going to make this tonight with some Indian vegan lentils. Looks and sounds delicious! My husband and I are both vegan & the amount of food you can create is endless and oh so good. Your site looks GREAT! I’m just trying to figure out blogging myself and came across yours.

    Once we enjoy this meal I’ll be sure to come back and rate it.

    Thanks

    Made this tonight and it was delicious! I cut the chili powder down to 1 tsp, but the kids said it was still spicy so I just added a little plain Greek yogurt to cool it down. Will definitely make this again another night!

    Anything with a coconut-milk based sauce sounds good in my opinion! This is making me hungry just to look at it – pinning for later:D
