Ingredients

  • 1 cauliflower head medium size
  • 1 tablespoon veggie broth
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon cumin
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 0.5 teaspoon garam masala
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika

Sauce

  • 1 large onion diced
  • 0.5 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 4 - 5 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 inch piece of ginger minced or grated
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander optional
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • ¼-½ teaspoon cayenne
  • 1 teaspoon paprika powder
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ chopped red bell pepper
  • 2 cans 14oz / 400g diced tomatoes, with juices
  • 2-3 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 can 15oz/ 420g coconut milk

Instructions

  • First, you start by dividing the cauliflower into small florets and mixing them with the spices and the vegetable broth. Now bake the cauliflower in the oven for approx. 20 min at 400°F (200°C).
  • In the meantime, you can sauté diced onion and chopped garlic in a pan. I add some water to the pan. Add the cumin seeds and the ginger and briefly sauté them.
  • Now add all the remaining ingredients and stir vigorously.
  • Let the sauce boil briefly and season to taste again.
  • When the cauliflower is ready, add it to the Tikka Masala sauce and let it cook for a couple more minutes (3-4 minutes). 
  • While you are preparing the sauce and cauliflower, you can cook rice and serve it with the sauce.
  • We like to eat a mixed green salad with the meal
