How many of you roast cauliflower before making curry??? I do it every single time.  I love the smell that comes when you roast cauliflower. Roasted cauliflower adds a lovely flavour to the gravy. So Next time try roasting the cauliflower florets before adding to the gravy.  I am sure you would love it. The caramelized cauliflower bites add a lot of flavour to the curry.

What is the secret to a good Indian Curry/gravy?

For making a good curry, the one and only technique is ‘Bhuno’ the masala properly.  ‘Bhuno’ is cooking/frying the Onion, Ginger Garlic paste, Tomato and spice mixture until the raw smell is gone and Oil starts oozing out from the sides.

You would find most of the Indian curries involves this step.  This thing needs time and patience. There are no shortcuts to it but believe me, it is worth the effort.

This CREAMY CAULIFLOWER CURRY WITH COCONUT is the latest addition to our favourite curry list. Have made 3-4 times in past couple of weeks. If you wonder why am I going gaga over this curry then let me tell you this curry is creamy and yet there is no cream in it. Nah, it is not only the coconut cream that has given the velvety texture to the gravy. So any guess on the mystery ingredient???  Jump directly to the recipe to find out.
