Cauliflower kurma

Cauliflower kurma recipe with step by step photos. Sharing a very easy cauliflower kurma recipe without coconut. Cauliflower is our favorite vegetable. I often cook many cauliflower recipes at home. These days cauliflower is available throughout the year. But we do find very fresh cauliflower winter and I buy them only when they are fresh. A reader asked me for restaurant style cauliflower kurma recipe. I have never tasted a cauliflower kurma in restaurants till date. So while this recipe may not be a typical restaurant style cauliflower kurma recipe, it is a very delicious and easy one. I can tell you this will be the best cauliflower kurma recipe to make at home.

As I mentioned above cauliflower is our favorite vegetable and I make different cauliflower recipes like veg stew, cauliflower masala, cauliflower curry, cauliflower gravy, gobi 65 etc. I make this cauliflower kurma recipe as side dish for roti. This also tastes good with steamed rice and raita. Unlike many kurma recipes there is no coconut in this cauliflower kurma recipe. This is made with cashew paste. The cashew paste adds a very rich, creamy and subtle taste to this cauliflower kurma recipe. This tastes delicious when served hot.

To make cauliflower kurma recipe, first let us prepare the cauliflower. You can either deep fry or shallow fry the florets. I always shallow fry the florets.Other than cashew paste I have used regular spices like turmeric,coriander powder and garam masala. Instead of garam masala you can use whole spices too. You can even use kitchen king masala. This is a vegan cauliflower kurma recipe. I have not used any cream or milk in this cauliflower korma. If you need you can add some fresh cream towards the end. You can also soak and grind cashew in milk. But cashew paste itself lends a very rich and creamy texture to this korma. You can keep the consistency of kurma as per your preference. This is a very tasty and flavorful side dish for roti, dosa etc. I even serve tis cauliflower kurma with dosa.

    This looks so delicious! Just wondering do you use raw cashews or roasted? Thanks!

    The cashews should become a smooth fine paste, mortar and pestle will not work, I use my mixer for this, I am not sure about a blender though
