Can I make this curry vegan?

Yes, absolutely! To make a vegan version, simply substitute the heavy cream with an equal amount of full-fat canned coconut milk, omit the honey (or use maple syrup), and use a plain, dairy-free yogurt for the raita topping.

My curry seems a little thin. How can I thicken it?

If your sauce is thinner than you'd like, you can simply let it simmer, uncovered, for an extra 5-10 minutes to allow more of the liquid to reduce and the sauce to concentrate.

What other vegetables would work well in this recipe?

This Tomato-Cauliflower Curry is very adaptable! You could add cubed sweet potatoes (add them with the cauliflower), diced zucchini (add it with the corn), or stir in a few large handfuls of fresh spinach at the very end until it wilts.

Ingredients

For the curry:
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons grated peeled fresh ginger
1 jalapeno pepper (seeds removed for less heat), finely chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 1/2 tablespoons Madras curry powder
1 1/2 tablespoons garam masala
1 cinnamon stick
1/2 head cauliflower, cut into florets
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 pounds plum tomatoes, quartered
3 ears of corn, kernels cut off (about 2 cups)
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons honey
Kosher salt
For the tomato yogurt:
1 tomato, grated
Juice of 1 lime
3/4 cup 2 percent Greek yogurt
1/3 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
2 scallions, thinly sliced
Grilled or toasted naan bread, for serving

Instructions

Make the Curry: Heat the vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden.
Add the garlic, ginger, and jalapeno, and cook for about 1 minute until sizzling and fragrant.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute until it dissolves into the oil. Add the curry powder, garam masala, and cinnamon stick, and cook for 1 more minute, stirring, until the spices darken.
Add 2 cups of water, the cauliflower florets, and chickpeas. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover and cook for about 6 minutes, until the cauliflower is almost tender.
Add the quartered tomatoes to the pot. Simmer, uncovered, for about 5 minutes until the tomatoes soften.
Stir in the corn kernels, heavy cream, and honey. Continue to simmer for about 7 minutes, until the cauliflower is tender and the tomatoes have broken down into the sauce. Season with salt.
Remove and discard the cinnamon stick before serving.
Make the Tomato Yogurt: While the curry simmers, mix the grated tomato, lime juice, Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup of cilantro, and the scallions in a small bowl. Season with salt.
Serve: Divide the curry among bowls. Top each serving with a dollop of the tomato yogurt and a sprinkle of the remaining fresh cilantro. Serve with warm naan bread on the side.

Notes

Toasting the spices in the hot oil for a minute helps to bloom their flavors, making the curry more aromatic.
The vegetables are added in stages to ensure that everything is perfectly cooked and not mushy.
The tomato yogurt provides a cool, creamy contrast to the warm, spiced curry.
