Hello, my dear.

Let me guess, you're still hesitating about picking that cauliflower in your grocery store because you only know one way to cook it, right?

Let me introduce to you, roasted cauliflower curry! It's healthy, simple, and extremely delicious.

Cauliflower on its own is kinda boring. It took me years before I could imagine myself eating this plain, white vegetable. 

When I first made this extra delicious steamed cauliflower, I knew there was more to explore in the cauliflower world. Now, I do enjoy different cauliflower meals quite often, especially when they're in season.

But! I had yet to realize how delicious cauliflower can be. Roasted cauliflower curry is seriously out of this world!!

If you have never tried roasted cauliflower, oh my gosh!
Pick one right now!
You've got to try this!

I am not a baker, so I don't know the chemical magic trick that happens when I roast cauliflower. Even my baby gal who doesn't like cauliflower love this roasted cauliflower curry.

This easy roasted cauliflower curry with garlic is tender, bursting with flavor, the Indian curry spice makes the roasted cauliflower a little heaven! Then I squeeze a lemon or mandarin over the cauliflower just before serving, you really have to try a roasted cauliflower my friend.

You only need a few ingredients to create this roasted cauliflower curry.

  • A cauliflower
  • garlic
  • Spices 
  • olive oil
  • salt 
  • A lemon/ mandarin

I like using fresh ginger and fresh garlic, when they roast they become crispy and delicious. You can add fresh turmeric as well if you like turmeric as I do. Just slice fresh ginger and garlic, not too thin otherwise they will burn.

How to cut cauliflower

It can be intimidating when you have a big cauliflower and you don't know how or where to start with it.

  • First, remove the leaves
  • Turn the cauliflower upside down so that you have the stem up
  • Holding the stem, use a knife to cut off the big florets all around
  • You are now left with the center of the head that has many florets
  • If you can't cut off any individual florets anymore, then cut off the stem and try to break down the florets using your hands
  • The more single florets you get the better if not, use your knife to cut the remaining part of the cauliflower head
  • Now cut off the long stems from the florets. Keep them to make a vegetable broth together with the leaves and the base of the cauliflower

How to Choose Cauliflower

  • The best cauliflower is the one that's freshly harvested!
  • Check on the leaves, they are firm and vibrant in color
  • The cauliflower doesn't have brown or discoloration
  • When you hold the cauliflower, you feel its weight. It should be nice and heavy.

How to Store Cauliflower

It's challenging to keep cauliflower fresh. Don't leave it on your kitchen counter! 

  • If you can buy a fresh cauliflower with the leaves on the better
  • Cut off the large outer leaves and the stem
  • Using a damp kitchen towel or cloth wrap the cauliflower and keep it in a big freezer bag.
  • Store the wrapped cauliflower in the vegetable section in your fridge. 
  • The cauliflower can store this way for a week or so.

If you have leftovers of roasted cauliflower, keep them in an air-tight container and have them within the next 3 days.
