Cauliflower and Potato Curry
This classic Indian curry is a lot easier to make at home than you might imagine. Using cauliflower, a potato, and tomatoes, this simple dish comes together in a matter of minutes, and tastes like it demanded a lot more effort.
You won’t miss the table salt here, because the dish is loaded with aromatic ginger, turmeric, cumin, and garam masala (see tip). Serve this curry with rice or
flatbread for a satisfying meal.

Cooking Tip
Garam masala is a spice blend made up of cumin, coriander, cardamom, black pepper, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and other spices—there are countless variations of the mix. Garam masala is typically added with other spices to curries and South Asian dishes to enhance flavor. Because salt is not added to the blend, a store-bought version is fine, or you can mix your own.
