Method
- Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/ gas 6. Put the cauliflower florets in a roasting tin, toss with the oil and salt, then roast for 20 minutes. Set aside in the tin when cooked.
- Meanwhile, for the curry, heat the oil on a medium heat in a medium lidded saucepan or casserole. Add the cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, bay leaves and cumin seeds. Cook for 1 minute until they start to sizzle. Add the onions, tomatoes, green chillies and ginger. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool for 5 minutes, then remove and discard the cinnamon stick and cloves. In a mini food processor or blender, whizz the mixture into a smooth paste.
- Put the paste back into the same pan and add the tomato purée and 200ml water. Bring to the boil, then cover and simmer for 20 minutes on a low heat. Add the salt, chilli powder, garam masala, kasturi methi and honey, then stir together.
- Add the roasted cauliflower and the yogurt, then stir, cover and cook for 10 minutes. Scatter with coriander, spoon over a little extra yogurt, grind over black pepper and serve with flatbreads.
