Cauliflower and chickpea curry

from Is This a Cookbook?: Adventures in the Kitchen (page 190) by Heston Blumenthal

  • Onions, garlic and salt cooked in gee.
  • Then add the cauliflower trimmings followed by Rogan Josh paste and tomato puree.
  • Then add canned chickpeas including the liquid from the pan.
  • Simmer and then Blitz to a smooth sauce, and add blanched cauliflower and spinach.
  • Top with coriander.

This dish is only as good as the Rogan Josh paste used, and the one I used was not highly spiced (disappointing).    A generous addition of Kashmiri chilli powder would have been beneficial.

Otherwise it was a good, and would be better as part of a collection of curries.

Served with Garlic Naan and Basmati rice.
