  • 1 large cauliflower, sliced into fork-sized florets
  • 300g potatoes
  • 35ml vegetable or coconut oil
  • 2 tsp fennel seeds
  • 1 tbsp black mustard seeds
  • 2 fat garlic cloves
  • ¼ tsp ground turmeric
  • ¼ tsp finely grated ginger root

  • 1 tbsp tomato purée
  • 4 tbsp water
  • 2 tbsp coconut cream
  • Naan breads, to serve

Method

  1. Slice 1 large cauliflower into fork-size florets and cut the potatoes into similar-size chunks. Bring a pan of salted water to the boil, cook the potatoes for 10 minutes, then drain. Heat the oil in a wok or frying pan over a medium heat. When simmering, add the fennel seeds and black mustard seeds and fry until they just start to pop. Turn down the heat.
  2. Crush 2 fat garlic cloves and stir in, then add the grated ginger, ground turmeric, cayenne pepper and tomato purée. Add the cauliflower and potatoes with a pinch of salt and water. Cook for 10 minutes with the lid on, stir in the coconut cream, then cook for another 5 minutes or until tender.
  3. Taste and season again if necessary, then serve with warm naan breads and an extra sprinkle of fennel seeds.
