Method

  1. Heat the oil in a saucepan. Cook the onion for 10 mins until soft, then add the ginger, garlic, turmeric, cumin and curry powder. Cook for 1 min more. Stir in the tomatoes and sugar. Add the cauliflower, potatoes and split chilli, seasoning to taste. Cover with a lid and gently cook for a good 30 mins, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender - add a drop of water if you need to, but it is meant to be a dry curry.
  2. When the vegetables are cooked, remove the chilli, if you like, stir in a squeeze of lemon juice and scatter with coriander. Serve with your choice of Indian bread and a dollop of yogurt.

    I found this a bit dry...I suggest adding double the tomatoes. I knw it's a dry curry, but if, like me, you don't like adding natural yoghurt, it needed more moisture.

    Added 200ml of water with the cauliflower - still was quite a dry curry but think it helped everything cook a little better...

    Added double tomatoes as suggested by Kate. Was a good curry but better as a side dish as the cauliflower was a little boring for a main dish.

    Great dish and very simple. I added 6 tbsps of stock to ensure the potatoes and the cauliflower would be well cooked.

    This recipe doesn't say how much cauliflower or potato to use (a big cauli or a little one, tiny potatoes or baking potatoes?). Try the Madhur Jaffrey recipe for Aloo Gobi, which gives good consistent results.

    ok so i didnt fry i softened my onions(1medium white & half a red onion) in 250ml of hot water and half a stock cube. i then added two chunks of frozen spinach to the onions then the rest of the ingredients, i added a whole tin of chopped tomatoes plus the a tin full of water a good pinch of sugar 2 1/2 tsp of currie powder rather than just one tsp, and a good grind of seasoning, i also added a tsp of sundried tomato paste to the mix. i cooked this for 50 minutes in the morning i then let it sit all day for dinner in the evening, the curry wasnt dry at all it was lovely tasted just right for my liking and looked like a take away curry too. ok so it wasnt quite the curry as above but this recipe is a good base to add thing you like to the mix.

    I generally add about 100mL of water in order to make sure the potatoes cook thoroughly. Smaller potato chunks and a larger saucepan helps the curry cook more evenly as well. Use a strong curry powder for a kick, as without there isn't much heat.

    Really easy and very tasty, great recipe. I added a couple of Tbsp of curry paste and about 150ml of water just to give it a kick and help with the potatoes, think I would par boil them next time. I also added some spinach at the end as I had it left over and it was a great addition for colour, texture & taste.

    Absolutely lovely curry, very tasty and easy. I found it better to parboil the potatoes and cauliflower too as I found it took twice as long to cook the first time I made it. I also use a full tin of chopped tomatoes and make a bigger batch to have the remainder for lunch at work the next day - tastes even better!
