Directions

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Toast curry powder and garam masala in small skillet over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until spices darken slightly and become fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove spices from skillet and set aside.

2. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in large Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add onions and potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are caramelized and 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 and add remaining tablespoon oil, garlic, ginger, chile, and tomato paste; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add toasted spices and cook, stirring constantly, about 1 minute longer. Add cauliflower and cook, stirring constantly, until spices coat florets, about 2 minutes longer.

4. Add tomatoes, water, chickpeas, and 1 teaspoon salt; increase heat to medium-high and bring mixture to boil, scraping bottom of pan with wooden spoon to loosen browned bits. Cover and reduce heat to medium. Simmer briskly, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in peas and cream or coconut milk; continue to cook until heated through, about 2 minutes longer. Adjust seasoning with salt and serve immediately, passing condiments separately.

    This is delicious! It has great texture, wonderful spices and really good nutritional value. I did find it needed some salt because of the potatoes, but really, 10/10. - 3/15/20

    Where possible I replaced canned products with fresh and no added salt, there's enough with the onion, garlic, tomatoes and tomato paste. DELISH! - 7/7/19

    Incredible!
    We have loved this recipe for years, but please note that the sodium is actually WAY higher than accounted for here. The tally doesn't include the tsp. of salt added in step 4, or any added at the end for adjustment. It is closer to 800mg per serving. Nonetheless, delicious. - 2/26/13

    Wow! This is absolutey delicious, a very rich and authentically-flavored dish. I didn't have coconut milk, so I used coconut oil in place of the vegetable oil. Everyone in my family loved it. Thanks for a great recipe!
    Edit: I also tried it with sweet potatoes. Not as good! Use regular potatoes.

    this is something we cook alot at my house, this is a low cal food but packed with mouthwatering spices and veggies. If you like spicy or hot you can add extra peppers or cayenne pepper to taste. - 9/2/10
