📝 Preparation Steps
1
In a small bowl, combine the spices for the masala spice mix (garam masala, cumin, turmeric, smoked paprika, cayenne, salt, and pepper).
garam masala ($0.60)2 Tbsp
2
Finely dice the onion, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger. Add all three to a large skillet along with the olive oil and sauté over medium heat until the onions are soft and translucent (about ⏱️ 3 minutes). Add the spice mix and continue to sauté for one more minute.
garlic ($0.12)3 clovesolive oil ($0.44)2 Tbsp
3
Add the frozen cauliflower florets to the skillet with the aromatics and spices, and continue to sauté for about ⏱️ 5 minutes more, or until the cauliflower have thawed through and are completely coated in spices.
4
Add the drained chickpeas, tomato sauce, and 1/4 cup water to the skillet. Stir to combine, then allow them to simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for about ⏱️ 15 minutes. This will help mellow the acidity of the tomato sauce and allow the spices to blend. If the mixture becomes too dry as it simmers, add a couple more tablespoons of water.
cup water ($0.00)1/4
5
After the sauce has simmered for ⏱️ 15 minutes, turn off the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Give the masala a taste and add salt as needed. Serve in a bowl either over rice or with a piece of bread for dipping.
