Cauliflower White curry

Cauliflower is essentially a winter vegetable, but currently it is mostly available round the year. The traditional aloo phollkopir dalna is just heaven; but try this variation for a change in taste and variation in menu. The cashew paste adds a richness to the otherwise humble curry. It is the perfect combination with roti, paratha and even plain rice or you could become adventurous and serve it with pulao or fried rice. Whichever dish you serve it with, it is sure to taste amazing and win your cooking skills some serious appreciation.
Note: The name “white” is because we don’t use turmeric and the cashew paste lends its ivory colour. However, the tomato and garam masala would lend a slight colouration.
