Instructions

  • Heat the oil or ghee in a large deep pan, then add the sliced onion and cook over medium heat for about 7-10 minutes until it’s brown. To the same pan add the cauliflower, broken into large florets and continue cooking until the florets are golden in places for about 5 minutes, it won’t be cooked at this point but browning will add flavour and will improve texture. 
  • Now add the ginger and garlic and cook briefly for about 30 seconds, add the tikka masala paste and cook it while stirring for another 30 seconds. Bring in the chopped tomatoes and the water to the pan, stir to combine, add the potatoes and bring to a boil. Then cover with a lot and cook for 20-25 minutes until the potatoes and cauliflower is tender.
  • Add the cream and the brown sugar and stir to combine, let it simmer for a minute, then take off the heat and serve garnished with fresh cilantro/coriander.
