This curry and cauliflower cheese recipe from MOB Kitchen is a serious gamechanger. It takes one of our favourite comfort foods and Sunday-roast side dishes and adds a kick of spice that takes it to another level. It uses great value ingredients and a generous combination of spices that makes this a recipe that’s full of flavour - if you prefer spicy food a little milder, it’s simple to adjust the heat, too. We love this as a side dish that adds a new taste to a traditional roast dinner or as a warm, gooey and comforting meat-free midweek meal. Looking for more cauliflower recipes? Look no further.

Ingredients

  • 1 cauliflower, chopped into large florets with leaves and steams roughly chopped
  • 50g butter
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 tbsp tomato purée
  • 1 tbsp garlic and ginger paste, (or use minced garlic and ginger)
  • 1 tsp chilli powder
  • ½ tsp ground turmeric
  • 50g plain flour
  • 500ml milk
  • 200g cheddar

Method

Step 1

Heat the oven to 190°C/170°C fan/gas 5. Bring a pan of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and leaves, then cook for 4 mins until just tender.

Step 2

Add the butter to a large saucepan, then add the cumin seeds. Fry for a minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Add in the tomato purée and cook for 3 mins until the colour has darkened.

Step 4

Spoon in the ginger and garlic paste, then cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add in the chilli powder and turmeric, then cook out for a further 2 mins.

Step 5

Add the flour, then mix to a paste and cook for another 2 mins. Gradually pour in the milk in small increments, whisking constantly so you have a smooth paste before pouring in more.

Step 6

Once all the milk has been added, bring the mixture to a boil and let it simmer for 2 mins until thickened.

Step 7

Remove the sauce from the heat. Add the cheddar and stir until it has totally melted. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Step 8

Tip the cauliflower into a baking dish and pour over the cheese sauce. Bake for 25 mins until golden and bubbly. Serve and enjoy.
