Note

Extra Tips: For best results, verify cauliflower pieces are similar in size for even cooking.

Stir the curry halfway through cooking to prevent sticking. If the cauliflower browns too quickly, cover with foil.

The curry can be made spicier by adding fresh chillies or cayenne pepper. Serve with rice or naan bread for a complete meal.
