This curried cauliflower dish tastes of Indian barbecue and is even more fantastic served with basmati rice and chapattis.

Yogi Bhajan’s Gobi Tamaatar – Spicy Cauliflower & Tomato Curry

• ⅓ cup ghee or oil
• 1 heaping teaspoon turmeric
• 2 onions, chopped
• 2 bulbs garlic, whole peeled cloves
• ¼ cup chopped fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 heaping teaspoon crushed red chiles
• 1 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1 cup of water
• 6 tomatoes, peeled and quartered
• ¾ cup of malt vinegar
• 3 medium heads cauliflower cut into large bite-size pieces
• Tamari soy sauce or salt

Heat oil in a large heavy saucepot or sauté pan over medium-high to high heat. Add turmeric and let sizzle for 10 seconds. Add onions, whole garlic cloves, and ginger. Sauté 2–3 minutes on a medium-high flame, stirring frequently. Add cinnamon, pepper, chiles, and cloves. Stir to combine and add water. Cook at least 5 minutes, adding more water as required to prevent scorching. Add tomatoes, vinegar, cauliflower, and tamari or salt. Add water as desired for a soupier consistency. Lower heat to medium and cook about 1 hour, uncovered, adding small amounts of water as needed, until the oil separates and the cauliflower is easily pierced with a fork.

Yield: 8 – 10 servings
