Potluck Recipes
The Best Recipe for Vegetable Curry
Sure, I love cooking a wide variety of tasty and Healthy Recipes, but some of my favorite go-to recipes are my simple curry recipes. Even before I started cooking for myself I would grind up spices in a coffee mill to make my own curry powder. In my spice cabinet, it always seems like I’m running out of turmeric. What can I say? My love affair with curry recipes is too deep.
While I have been experimenting and perfecting my vegetable curry recipes, the only one that has been enjoying them was me. That is, until very recently and now I have slowly gaining converts. About a month ago, my parents decided to go on a diet and my dad needed some new slim-down recipes. I gave him my Cauliflower Curry recipe and he’s been cooking up big batches of the stuff ever since. My good friend needed a flavorful dish for a professional potluck that would be okay for a variety of diet restrictions. I gave him my Cauliflower Curry recipe and he said it was a smash success.
Now is this the most authentic Indian curry recipe around? Well, probably not, but I sure find it tasty. Plus, it’s very easy to make, and it’s adaptable for any taste or diet restriction. Enjoy!

Cauliflower Curry
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower
- 6 okra pods, washed and sliced
- 2 cups vegetable broth, plus more if needed
- 1 can garbanzo beans, well rinsed to remove any residual salt
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3-4 tablespoons garam masala or curry powder, or to taste
- 2-3 tablespoons turmeric, or to taste
- 1 tablespoon red pepper, to taste (optional)
- Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
- Salt, to taste (optional)
- 1 tablespoon cumin, to taste
- 2 teaspoons coriander, to taste
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon, to taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
- 1/2 cup plain fat free yogurt or coconut milk, to taste
- Whole wheat bread crumbs or whole wheat flour (optional)
- Cook Basmati rice (optional)
Instructions
- Wash and chop the cauliflower and the okra.
- In a large pot, boil the vegetable broth. Once the broth is boiling, add the cauliflower and okra and simmer for about 30 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
- Open the garbanzo beans and rinse extremely thoroughly. Add the rinsed beans to the pot and simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Peel and mince the garlic and add to the pot.
- Add all the spices to the pot. Taste the mixture and then decide if more spice is needed.
- Add the yogurt or coconut milk and stir to combine.
- If the sauce is too runny for you, you can add bread crumbs, flour or plain Greek yogurt to thicken the mixture.
- Serve over Basmati rice, if desired
Notes:
Use this recipe more as a guide than as a set-in-stone recipe. Cauliflower really works well as a receptacle for the strong spice flavors in this dish, but really a whole host of veggies work be great in this curry recipe. Potatoes? Zucchini? Butternut Squash? Lentils? Peas? All great choices. Also, let these spices serve merely as a guide. I like very spicy, very flavorful dishes, so I tend to go a little overboard when spicing my cauliflower curry. However, if you want to scale back the spice levels this dish will still be tasty.
