Indian Curried Cauliflower with Potatoes and Peas


I had to be a bit creative with dinner last night as it was the end of the week. Curry is a great spur of the moment, thrown together, hodge podge of whatever you have. I usually make Thai curries with coconut milk, but a less spicy indian style curry sounded good. This smells so good cooking you want to jump in the pan...please refrain.




2T olive oil


2 yukon gold potatoes- peeled and chopped into 1/2" chunks


1 sm onion chopped


2 cloves garlic minced


1 T minced ginger


1T yellow curry paste- I used powder and added a tsp thai mussamen curry paste for spice


the amount of curry is really up to your liking


1/2 t cumin


2 t salt


11/2 cups water


1 sm cauliflower cut into flowerets


1 cup frozen peas


3 T chopped cilantro


Plain yogurt




-In a large skillet cook onion in oil until golden




-add potatoes, garlic, ginger, curry paste. cumin. Stir until coated and fragrant. 2-3 minutes


-add salt and water; bring to boil. cover and simmer for 10 min.


-add cauliflower; cover and simmer another 10 min or until cauliflower is tender.


-add peas, remove lid, and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated.




-garnish with cilantro, and serve over rice with plain yogurt on the side.
