About my rogan josh inspired chickpea and cauliflower curry recipe
Not your ordinary curry, my cauliflower chickpea curry is infused with the rich flavours of rogan josh. I’ve simplified this recipe like most of my curries without compromising on taste. Serve with naan, pilau rice, and a kachumber salad for an easy dinner. My family adores this slightly spicy dish, and its versatility allows you to adjust the heat to your liking. The star here is the curry sauce—tomatoey, creamy, packed with spices and optionally coconutty—packed with flavour. Enjoy it solo or with a side; it’s practically a weekly menu staple on busy days.
