I cooked up some Cauliflower-Peas curry for dinner since my wife wasn't going to be home for dinner and I had a little leftover cauliflower and a tomato that needed used.

The base for this curry is an onion-garlic-ginger puree (yeah, it sounds strange the first time), so you'll need a lot of onion. I used half of a large onion just to make enough for me. Don't be stingy with the garlic and ginger either.

Heat oil in skillet over medium heat and briefly "fry" some curry paste (I used Patak's hot curry, but you can use whatever blend suits your taste). Add onion-garlic-ginger puree and sauté for a couple of minutes. Add chopped cauliflower and a little water if needed to keep from sticking. Cook covered over low heat until cauliflower is almost tender, then add chopped tomato and some frozen peas. Cook a couple of minutes, serve over rice.

Please educate me about curry paste..I just shake in curry powder.

You can use curry powders (note the plural) too. I have many of them as well. Basically, curry paste is a curry blend mixed with oil to make a paste. Curry

Patak's

Patak's is the brand I used, but there are others.

This sounds like a side I tried at an Indian buffet restaurant near work.

Yes, it's an Indian curry. It's adapted from a recipe in a book of Indian curries. I'll try to find the original for you guys. It called for using individual spices to make a curry blend.

Bought some Patak's biryani....looking forward to trying it out.
