Cauliflower curry

I love cauliflower! And everything is in season right now, so I found a pair of really nice cauliflowers at Lidl and bought two. One I made for this, the fate of the other one is coming soon. 

It's a combination of two recipes. This one from Youtube: Cauliflower Tomato Curry and this one from a Swedish diet-person: Indisk blomkålscurry. I didn't have all the stuff from the Youtube cauliflower curry and the diet cauliflower curry seemed a bit thin and from having a bad experience with adding vegetable stock, I came up with this recipe.


Cauliflower curry, a lot 

1 cauliflower
1 onion
1 green chili 
4 tomatoes
3 cloves garlic
a little piece of ginger
1 teaspoon turmeric powder (didn't have this, but would be nice to add)
1 teaspoon chili powder (didn't have this, mixed paprika powder, cayenne pepper, )
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 teaspoon coriander powder
1 teaspoon cummin powder
150 ml red lentils
a sprinkle of coriander

Divide the cauliflower in smaller pieces. Rinse and let to dry. 


Chop the onion roughly and slice the chili. Quarter the tomatoes and cut to smaller pieces. With the garlic press, press the garlic and the ginger. Put the spices in a small bowl. 

 
Put some vegetable oil in a hot pan. Add the onion, fry for a few minutes. Add the chili, fry for a minute or two. Add the ginger and garlic, fry for a minute or two. Add the tomatoes, add more water if needed. Let it boil for 1-2 min. Add some water to the spices and mix around, add this to the pan. Let it boil for a few minutes, I like my tomatoes not totally disintegrated. Add the cauliflower and lentil. Add water if needed. Boil until the lentils are finished. 


Sprinkle some coriander of it and serve with basmatirice and mint-yoghurt.
