Cauliflowers are in season in spring and can be bought very cheaply. This recipe results in a sweet, aromatic curry which is very moreish! I like this with a green rich and hotter curry so have provided another recipe for a canarian aloo sag using some of the spring grenns that are also readily available here.

Caulilower, Carrot and Apple Curry

Ingredients

1 cauliflower - brken into florets

4 large carrots - sliced

1 eating apple - cut into bite size chunks

1 large onion - roughly chopped

1 clove garlic - finely chopped

2 tbsp olive oil

2 cartons natural yoghurt

 1 dessertspoon ground coriander

 1 teaspoon ground cumin

 1 dessertspoon turmeric

salt and pepper

Method

Soften the onion and carrots in the oil for about 5 mins, add the garlic and spices and cook for a another couple of minutes.

Add he cauliflower and toss to allow the colours and flavours to cost the florets

Add water to a depth of about one inch, stir and cook on a medium heat for 5 mins

Add the apple and stir again

When the cauliflower is still firm, remove from the heat and add the  yoghurt. Stir and cook for another few minutes to warm the yoghurt through.

Season to taste.

Be careful not to overcook the cauliflower!

Serve with rice and canarian aloo sag - see below
