Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp butter use Earth Balance or coconut oil for vegan
  • 1 yellow onion chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 jalapeno finely chopped
  • 2- inch piece fresh ginger peeled and minced
  • 3 Tbsp garam masala
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 28-oz can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 Tbsp sugar
  • 1 head cauliflower chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 14-oz can full-fat coconut milk

For serving:

  • basmati rice
  • frozen peas
  • chopped cilantro

Instructions

  • Melt butter in a large pan over medium-low heat. Add onions, garlic and jalapeno and saute until onions are translucent and begin to turn brown around the edges, 6-7 minutes. Add ginger, garam masala, and salt, and saute another 30-60 seconds. Stir in crushed tomatoes and sugar. Cover and bring to a simmer.
  • Stir in chopped cauliflower. Don't worry if it seems like there's no liquid left; this will change as the cauliflower cooks. Simmer until cauliflower is tender, about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove from heat and stir in coconut milk. Serve over basmati rice with peas on the side, and plenty of chopped cilantro. Enjoy!
