Curry Cauliflower Cheese

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.


Instructions

  1. 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.


  2. 2

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


  3. 3

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


  4. 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.


  5. 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.


  6. 6

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


  7. 7

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


  8. 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.
