Method
- Heat the grill to high. Toss the cauliflower florets and stalk in a bowl with 1 tbsp oil and some seasoning, until well coated. Tip onto a baking tray and grill for 15-20 mins, turning halfway, until lightly charred. Add the leaves halfway through, tossing through the cauliflower and oil.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a deep, lidded frying pan over a medium heat and fry the onion for 6-8 mins until tender. Stir in the garlic and ginger and fry for 1 min more. Add the korma paste, stir for a few seconds until fragrant, then add the ground almonds. Stir to make a thick paste, then gradually add the stock to make a sauce. Stir in the charred cauliflower, then cover and cook for 5-10 mins until the stems are tender. Add another 100ml water during cooking if it becomes dry.
- Microwave the rice to pack instructions. Swirl the yogurt into the curry, warming briefly for 1-2 mins over a low heat (don’t boil vigorously or the yogurt may split), then remove from the heat and check the seasoning. Serve with the rice and a little naan bread, if you like.
