Curried Cauliflower or "gobi Gobi"

Submitted by phopot

"this is kind of a reinterpretation of the classic aloo gobi, only not by the braise process. because the cauliflower emits so much water, it doesn't need to be braised but somewhat steamed for a lighter crisper texture."

Curry and cauliflower is a great combination! I used just a little oil and added some broth to steam the veg. It came out very well, though next time I might add a few more tomatoes. I used about a teaspoon of curry powder and garam masala, and then a few dashes of the other spices, which was a perfect blend for us. Thanks!

Really easy to make and tasty. I wasn't completely satisfied with my version as I probably didn't use enough spices and my cauliflower was too small... it went too mushy. But this good be really good!
