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.

    Nice curry - but a little dry if you follow recipe. I used double the specified amount of tomato & added small amounts of water throughout the cooking to ensure the cauliflower & potatoes cooked through without burning.

    Have just made this for dinner tonight. I wanted to let the flavours develop a bit. I've tasted it though and I think it's lovely. Nice warm spices. I followed the recipe to the letter and it's just as expected consistency wise.

    Fabulous curry! Added double the quantity of tomatoes and wanted it more saucy and it worked so well. Full of flavour and a real kick. Will be a regular!

    sooooo good, so easy. added a tinful of water (to reduce burning--I have an electric stove) as well as spinach and puy lentils...and I substituted half the potato with sweet potato. Amped up the protein and fiber, and DELICIOUS.

    This was an okay recipe. I think I would make it again but without the ginger, I thought it was a weird taste.

    so easy to make - I like others used whole tin of tomatoes and some water to loosen up. I also used garam masala powder instead of the separate spices and despite my fiance hating cauli he loved the smell and would love me to make with some meat.

    Very nice curry. I parboiled the potatoes and cauliflower first and used a large tin of tomatoes, as per suggestions by others. I also missed out the chilli and cut down the curry powder a bit, as I don't like too much spice.

    This was really nice. Having read the comments, I used a 400g tin of tomatoes and 150ml stock and cut the potatoes up small. Despite my generous seasoning, my daughter said it was missing something, so next time I will toast some cumin seeds with the onions and maybe also add garam masala. But overall an easy and tasty curry

    I substituted sweet potato for the potato to make it that bit healthier. I also found it to be quite dry, so ended up using a whole large tin of chopped tomatoes rather than a small, probably around half a cup of hot water and then to make sure the flavour didn't lose intensity, added at least another half tsp of curry powder and cumin. The squeeze of lemon was essential, I thought, to bring out the flavours and I served with yoghurt and basmati rice. A great basic curry recipe that I am sure can be adapted with plenty of alternative veg as desired

    didn't work for me, too dry and vague about amounts of veg required. Had to double the chopped tomatoes and add a couple of cups of water to give it room to reduce whilst the veg cooked. Came out quite hot, but a bit bland. But i did mess around with the spices a bit, that could have been my fault.

    This turned out so awful I'm loathe to give it one star. Having no liquid to cook in, it's very difficult to stop the cauliflower from burning. And if that happens a truly horrible bitter taste emerges. Luckily I cooked the delish 'home cooked chicken curry' on this website too so we had something else to eat, otherwise we would have had no dinner as the cauliflower and potato one all went in the bin!

    Absolutely lovely. Also nice with carrots, mushrooms and green beans. I just put in whatever I have in the fridge. Made it several times now. When it turned out too dry, I added some water. Also, I boil the veg (cauliflower, potato, beans etc) in advance. Goes a lot quicker. Sprinkle with some cashew nuts!
