Instructions
For the Roasted Cauliflower
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add the chopped cauliflower, olive oil, and all of the spices. Stir well to combine and spread evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring once about halfway through. Set aside.
1 large head of cauliflower, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon garam masala, ½ teaspoon turmeric, ½ teaspoon cumin, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon ginger powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper
For the Potato Tikka Masala
While the cauliflower is roasting, heat the olive oil in a Dutch oven or large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the onion and sauté until softened and the edges are beginning to brown, about 7 minutes. Add in the garlic and ginger and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes, then add in all of the spices, salt, and tomato paste. Cook the spices and tomato paste in the oil for another 2-3 minutes
Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in the diced tomatoes. Stir well and simmer, uncovered for 10 minutes. The sauce should thicken a bit and become darker in color from the spices.
1 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
Stir in the coconut milk and allow the sauce to come back up to a simmer. Once simmering, add in the potatoes and cover the pot with a lid. Gently cook the potatoes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until you can easily pierce them with a fork, about 30 minutes.
1 14-ounce can full-fat coconut milk, 2 large russet potatoes
Fold in the roasted cauliflower and remove the pan from the heat. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with rice or naan bread.
¼ cup fresh cilantro
