Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes (Yukon Gold or red potatoes)
  • 1 medium head cauliflower, chopped into bite-sized florets
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 medium tomatoes, chopped or 1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk (full-fat or light)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (canola or sunflower)
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
  • Salt to taste (start with 1 teaspoon)
  • A handful fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prep your vegetables: peel and cube potatoes, chop cauliflower into florets, finely chop onion, mince garlic, and grate ginger.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and toast until fragrant and slightly darker, about 30 seconds, being careful not to burn.
  3. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent and soft, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in minced garlic and grated ginger; cook until fragrant but not browned, about 1-2 minutes.
  5. Add turmeric, ground coriander, chili powder, and salt. Stir well to coat the onions and aromatics.
  6. Add chopped or crushed tomatoes and cook down for about 4 minutes until thickened and oil starts to separate.
  7. Add potatoes and cauliflower florets; stir to coat evenly with the spice mixture.
  8. Pour in coconut milk and 1/2 cup water. Stir gently, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until vegetables are tender. Stir occasionally.
  9. Sprinkle garam masala over the curry and stir gently. Turn off heat and add lemon juice. Taste and adjust salt or chili powder if needed.
  10. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
