Finally, it’s Friday and with the slight nip in the air, we have been making craving warm curries/stews, so here comes our Vegan Cauliflower Tikka Masala Recipe. And the BEST part, the taste is absolutely Ahhhhmaaazing !!!!
Ingredients for Vegan Cauliflower Tikka Masala:
Cauliflower (Gobi) Coconut Milk Cashews Onion – chopped Diced Tomato or Small Tomatoes Tomato Sauce Sweetener of Choice Olive Oil Cilantro Leaves Indian Spices: turmeric, garam masala, salt, chili powder Kasuri Methi (Dry Fenugreek Leaves)
It’s what I call Modern meets Traditional food, as the original recipe takes longer to cook and uses tons of butter, cream, and yogurt. But this Modern or Fusion one uses a combination of Coconut Milk (canned variety) + few Cashews. Also, before we go further, have you ever thought what makes ‘Tikka Masala’ that popular or distinctive in taste other than cream? The answer is ‘Kasuri Methi or Dry Fenugreek Leaves’! They are an extremely aromatic Indian herb who’s fresh leaves are hand-plucked and then dried carefully (restoring the amazing aroma). You need to open the packet to smell that aromatic herb whiff that escapes everytime you might peek into the packet/box 🙂
Given above is a picture of a store-bought ‘Kasuri Methi‘. Always check the packaged date as the nearest ones would give you much aromatic and greener dried leaves. A tablespoon of this aromatic herbs changes the whole taste. It not only makes the dish aromatic but gives it this smokey taste.
I’ve been cooking this version of Vegan Cauliflower Tikka Masala Recipe for ages now. It’s not only a simple and easy recipe to make but is loved by everyone at home from adults to even kids.
