2 tbsp sunflower oil
225g pack paneer, cut into cubes
1 head of cauliflower broken into small florets

Tips:

  • To save time, use frozen cauliflower and peas. Fresh vegetables work just as well, but frozen vegetables are often more convenient and just as nutritious.
  • If you don't have garam masala, you can make your own. Combine 1 tablespoon each of ground cumin, coriander, and turmeric, 2 teaspoons of ground ginger, and 1 teaspoon each of ground cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon.
  • Serve the curry with rice, naan, or roti. You can also serve it with yogurt, chutney, or pickles.
  • To make the curry vegan, use coconut milk instead of yogurt. You can also omit the ghee and use vegetable oil instead.

Conclusion:

This vegetarian Indian cauliflower and pea curry is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is easy to make and packed with flavor. The curry is also a good source of protein, fiber, and vitamins. Serve it with rice, naan, or roti, and enjoy!
