Ingredients:
- 1 head of cauliflower, cut into florets
For the batter:
- 1.5c whole wheat flour
- big pinch salt
- 1 tsp curry powder
- 1 TBSP tandori masala spice (recipe for home blend below)
- 1c almond milk
- 1c water
For the sauce: (Make the below or just use bbq sauce)
- 1 TBSP red curry paste (be careful – depending on the brand, it can be nuclear hot! I buy Mae Ploy on Amazon)
- 2TBSP coconut oil
- 2TBSP maple syrup
- 1/2c water
For a home-blend of tandori masala:
- 3 TBSP ground cumin
- 2 TBSP garlic powder
- 2 TBSP smoked paprika
- 3 tsp ginger powder
- 2 tsp ground coriander
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions:
- pre-heat oven at 450F
- use a silpat mat on a cookie sheet, or parchment paper
- make the batter, by mixing all powders then adding liquids; it needs to be pourable but thick enough to stick to the cauliflower
- dip the cauliflower bits in the batter, roast for 25 min
- make the sauce by mixing together all the ingredients but the water, that needs to be added sparingly to reach a similar almost liquidy consistency. If you’re in a rush or out of red curry paste, you can substitute with bbq sauce and it works just fine.
- dip roasted battered cauliflower bites in sauce and put back in oven for another 20-25 min until fragrant and brown, caramelized in places
