If you do a Google search for “cauliflower potato” (two items in a recent shipment from Cal-Organic Farms), guess what pops up first? A recipe for cauliflower and potato curry from Food & Wine, featuring plenty of fresh veggies and aromatics. As soon as I laid eyes on a photo of the meatless main, I was compelled to make it.
Unlike some Indian dishes, cauliflower and potato curry comes together quickly – and it’s a one-pot meal, so clean-up is a breeze. What’s not to love about that?
While you could serve the mélange with meat or seafood, cauliflower and potato curry is hearty enough to stand on its own. And leftovers are delicious reheated or cold.
