  it is a very quick and good dish, but it really depends on the quality of the curry paste that is used.

  I added red lentils to make this a thicker more substantial curry dish

  This was a really good curry, I added potato because I only had a small amount of cauliflower also I left it to simmer for longer than 15mins so it was a bit less watery. Balti curry paste, works well.

  Yum! I cooked my cauliflower for slightly less time as I like it crunchy and added some new potatoes so I didn't need rice/Naan.

  This is a really great curry if you add the lentils like clareanna said above. Otherwise it can be a little too watery. I added about 150g just after throwing in the water.

  I'm currently doing weight watchers and this is a great low-point dish. Instead of adding lentils (which would have added to the points) I just added some tomato puree and served with a small portion of rice instead. I aslo used thai red curry paste which worked nicely.

  Ooh, it was lovely! I added fresh and chopped tomatoes, a little extra garlic, and cooked for a bit longer than it said as the cauli was still too hard. We like our veg al dente, but after 15 minutes it was still raw! Would definitely make again!

  Yummy, Used a balti paste, a can of tomatoes, two extra cloves of garlic and red lentils. Used the great flat bread recipe from this site. Yes it was easy but big on flavour. My little sister loved it, and even ate her cauliflower!

  This is lovely and so easy to make. I did as Clareanna suggested and added lentils. Next time I will try with broccoli also to add more greens :)

  This super quick recipe gave me an idea. Instead of spinach and tomatoes, I added sweet potatoes. A good variance to make a change.

  We loved this curry but maybe for the wrong reasons! (hence the three star rating) I too added 150g lentils and a homemade red thai curry paste. I cooked for 25 mins rather than the 15 mins specified because of the addition of the lentils and as other reviewers have commented the cauliflower wasn't cooked. I increased the sauce with an additional 1/2 tin of toms, water and 2tbsp of curry paste. The result was a very mild curry more akin to a vegetable stew served with basmati wholegrain rice and mango chutney (to spice it up a bit) There was plenty of oohing and aahing but not in my opinion because it was a brilliant recipe but because of the quality of the produce (star of the show was my FIL home grown cauliflower) and I loved the combo of cauliflower, lentils, spinach and tomatoes. Will make it again because of this reason.

  I only had frozen veg so fried the onion, added Rogan Josh paste and 150g of lentils followed by tinned tomatoes and a little water. Once the lentils were almost cooked, I threw in the frozen cauliflower and rainbow chard instead of spinach (got tons in my freezer from my allotment). I added a couple of quartered ripe tomatoes too and served with basmati rice. Very tasty.
