Tikka marsala
Ingredients
1–2 tablespoons olive oil
1 shallot – chopped
1 tablespoon chopped ginger
4 fat garlic cloves, rough chopped
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon coriander
1 teaspoon turmeric
½ teaspoon paprika or chili powder
1 teaspoon garam masala or curry powder
1 teaspoon mustard seeds– optional
1 teaspoon fennel seeds– optional
1 teaspoon fenugreek leaves– optional
1 teaspoon salt
1 can diced tomatoes (or two medium tomatoes, diced)
1 can coconut milk
1 red bell pepper – big diced
1 head cauliflower – sliced into 1 inch pieces, or small florets
squeeze of lemon
cilantro for garnish
Serve with naan or pita bread, or rice.
Instructions
Heat oil in a large heavy bottom pot or Dutch oven over medium high heat. ( see notes for Instant Pot) Add shallot, ginger and garlic, and reduce heat to medium to prevent burning, stirring frequently about 3 minutes until fragrant and golden. Add spices, seeds and salt and lightly toast, while stirring 1-2 minutes, which will enhance their flavor. Add diced tomato, cook 2 more minutes, then add the coconut milk and stir to incorporate, bringing to a simmer. Add cauliflower and red bell pepper, give a stir, cover and let simmer 10-12 minutes on medium low heat. Check the cauliflower – it should be just tender, and continue cooking uncovered until desired tenderness (the smaller you cut the pieces the faster this will cook). Taste, add a squeeze of lemon juice. Add more salt if necessary. Serve in bowls over rice or with naan or pita bread. Garnish with cilantro.
