RAW CAULIFLOWER KORMA

Steps:

• To make the base: Chop cauliflower into small pieces, add raisins and mix. Set aside.
• To make sauce: Put all remaining ingredients in a blender and mix at a high speed until combined and sauce-like - add more water (or some raw nut milk) if required.
• To serve: Pour sauce over cauliflower and eat! (You could pour over any mix of chopped veggies!) The curry sauce is so good!
• Tips: Recipe Editor would not let me add to the prep notes that above so I will add it here, before adding to the blender it will help if you chop all the veggies and dates!

VEGETABLE KORMA CURRY

Steps:

• Heat butter/ghee/oil in a large wok style pan over medium-low heat.
• Add curry powder(s), garam masala, cumin (if using), nutmeg, and cinnamon and allow to cook 2 minutes (it should sizzle, but not smoke), stirring occasionally.
• Mix in onion and garlic; increase temperature and saute until onion is near translucent.
• Add tomatoes, green chiles, and vegetable broth and bring to a simmer.
• Mix in the potatoes, cauliflower, carrots, green beans, and cilantro; cover and cook over medium-low heat for 25 to 30 minutes, until vegetables are tender, but firm.
• Mix in sliced red bell pepper, coconut milk, and cashew butter; cook 15 minutes. (You can warm the cashew butter a bit in the microwave, first, to soften it and allow it to mix in better.)
• Remove from heat, stir in yogurt, and season to taste with salt; during the cooking, there should be enough liquid to form a good korma sauce base, if more sauce is desired, add additional vegetable broth.
• Serve over basamati rice and garnish with chopped cashews.
• Note: if you're not fond of green beans, you can substitute snow pea pods, but add them along with the red bell pepper and not earlier.

CAULIFLOWER CURRY

Steps:

• Heat a wok over a high heat. Add the fenugreek, coriander, cardamom seeds and curry leaves, and toast for 2 mins or until starting to brown and release their aromas. Remove and grind to a powder using a pestle and mortar or spice grinder.
• Return the wok to the high heat and add the oil. Add all the spices (including the ones you just ground) and cook for 1 min, then add the ginger, garlic, chilli, onion and 1 1/2 tsp salt, and stir-fry for 5 mins.
• Add the cauliflower, toss with the other ingredients so it's well coated, then stir-fry for 7-10 mins or until it starts to soften. Add the tomatoes and stir-fry for another 3-5 mins or until they start to break down.
• Pour in the coconut milk and cook over a medium heat, stirring, for 15-20 mins until the cauliflower is tender and the sauce has reduced. Squeeze over the lime juice and check for seasoning. Can be made a day ahead - pour in the coconut milk, reduce by half, then leave to cool and keep in the fridge.
