Instructions for Tandoori Chickpea & Cauliflower Curry Recipe (Vegan Curry)

    1

    To begin making the Tandoori Chickpea & Cauliflower Curry in Tomato Curry Recipe, we will first have to get all the ingredients ready. Have 1/2 cup of raw chickpea soaked for 8 hours and cooked until soft.You should have one cup of cooked chickpeas.  Keep this aside.

    2

    Puree the tomatoes according to the instructions (link) and keep aside.

    3

    Pound the fennel seeds in a pestle and mortar until it becomes a coarse powder and keep aside.

    4

    The next step is to cook the cauliflower to make the tandoori curry.

    5

    In a large wok or a kadai, heat a teaspoon of oil. Add the cauliflower florets, sprinkle some salt and stir fry the cauliflower until it is cooked through. It should be firm, and yet cooked.

    6

    This will take anywhere between 5 to 10 minutes. Once the cauliflower is cooked, add the turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala powder, fennel seed powder and give it a stir. Add the tomato puree, chickpea and stir well to combine the curry.

    7

    Check the salt and spice levels and adjust to suit your taste. Turn the heat to medium high and give the curry a brisk simmer for about 5 minutes. While it is simmering we will prepare the coal for smoking.

    8

    To begin, first take a piece of coal (about 3 inches big) and hold it over a gas flame with the help of tongs. The coal will begin to turn red hot and grey in about 5 minutes. This indicates that the coal is ready to be used for smoking. Place this in a a small steel or a glass bowl

    9

    Make a small well in the centre of the kadai where the cauliflower is simmering and place the cup into it. Pour a spoon of ghee on the coal.

    10

    It will begin to smoke. Immediately cover the pan and reduce the heat to low and allow it to rest for about a minute until all the smoke as died down. Open the lid and remove the coal cup. 

    11

    The Cauliflower and Chickpea Curry will have a smoked tandoori effect into the dish.

    12

    Once done, turn off the heat and transfer the Tandoori Cauliflower Chickpea Curry into a serving dish and sprinkle some mint leaves.

    13

    Serve the Tandoori Chickpea & Cauliflower Curry in Tomato Curry along with hot steamed rice and a salad for a wholesome weeknight dinner.
