Method

  1. Heat a large, deep non-stick frying pan, wok or shallow saucepan over a low heat. Add the oil, stir in the onion and fry over a medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and starting to turn golden.
  2. Stir the chilli, garlic and ginger into the onion mixture and fry for 2 minutes. Raise the heat a little, add the potatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the outsides are just softening. Stir in the curry paste, cook for 1 minute, then toss in the cauliflower and stirfry for a further 1 minute to coat.
  3. Pour the coconut milk into the pan and stir thoroughly. Add some salt, raise the heat and bring to the boil, stirring frequently, then half cover the pan and reduce to a slow simmer. Cook the curry for 20-25 minutes, stirring often, until the sauce has thickened slightly and the vegetables are tender.
  4. Half bury the eggs yolk-sides up in the sauce, then cover and continue to simmer gently for a further 1-2 minutes to heat through. Serve with a scattering of toasted almonds, if liked, and coriander.

    DEFINITELY add a can of chopped tomatoes! it gives it a deeper flavour. used Patak's tikka masala instead which gave it a sweetness, and added a bit of curry powder too. amaaaazing.

    This was really lovely and easy to make. I used half sweet potato and half normal potato, but otherwise stuck to the recipe. Will definitely make it again.

    Wow, I never thought we would enjoy a veggie curry so much, even my boyfriend didn't miss the meat at all, it was so tasty, especially with the eggs. Made a nice change from cauliflower cheese, which i would normally make. Superb!!

    This is a top recipe ! Decided to become vegetarian again, and what a great start! Had some mango chutney with it, and it was delicious.

    Have made this several times now, and teamed it with another Good Food recipe - Lemon, Mushroom and Spinach Pilaf rice. Absolutely perfect! A winner every time.

    Cauliflower is such an underrated veg and but I like it a lot. I was searching out a vegetarian recipe for visiting friends and this seemed to fit the bill perfectly. I read a lot of the past reviews and noticed on many occasions people had added some sweet potato, peas and sometimes spinach. I went with the first two and half a jar of Patak's finest Jalfrezi plus a small can of chopped tomatoes. Result - sheer Heaven and congratulations from my visitors! A very good recipe, and the hard boiled eggs really work well.

    I really liked this curry. I like my curry medium to hot and it was a bit too mild for me, but spiced it up a bit and it was great.

    Loved it! Used sweet potatoes instead of normal potatoes, and added a little stock to create a bit more sauce (the cauliflower was quite large). Really tasty. Have also tried it with tinned tomatoes - definitely better without...
