Directions
1. Toast curry powder & Garam Masala in dry skillet over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until spices darken slightly or smoke, & become fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove spices & set aside.

2. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add onions & potatoes & cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are caramelized & potatoes are golden brown on edges, about 10 minutes. (Reduce heat to medium if onions darken too quickly.)

3. Reduce heat to medium. Clear center of pan & add 1 tablespoon oil, garlic, ginger, chili, & ketchup. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add toasted spices & cook, stirring constantly, about 1 minute longer. Add cauliflower & cook, stirring constantly, until spices coat florets, about 2 minutes longer.

4. Add tomatoes, tomato/chickpea water, chickpeas, & 1 teaspoon salt; increase heat to medium-high & bring mixture to boil, scraping bottom of pan with wooden spoon to loosen browned bits. Cover & reduce heat to medium. Simmer briskly, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.

5. Stir in cream or coconut milk; continue to cook until heated through, about 2 minutes longer.

6. Add cooked rice. Only add peas right before serving because they taste better fresh.
