I made this today and it’s really quite delicious and the cream takes it up a few notches. Good enough to serve to company. Mine didn’t need the honey it had just enough sweetness to it. I definitely added the Kasori methi. 🧄🧅🍅🌶🧄🧅
The fenugreek - I have seeds and will grow it and then dry it. It's a fantastic ingredient and you're right - has a unique flavour. This looks absolutely delicious. (Also, whenever I put in a can of tomatoes, I follow it with half a teaspoon of sugar to offset the acidity - maybe that's why you put honey in it?) Thank you Chetna!
Hello, my partner is allergic to citrus acid so I can't use the Tin tomatoes or tomato puree. Could I use fresh tomatoes? And if so, would I need to peel them first? This curry looks absolutely amazing, I'd love to make it for my family! Ty x
@@samanthapalmer7687 In most of her recipes, she uses 2-3 chopped fresh tomatoes. I prefer the taste of fresh tomatoes as well and will use them instead of the tinned ones! I never peel them, just dice them and add in place of the tin of tomatoes.
I tried this and also made some sourdough discard naan! smelled amazing. There was a bit of a hole in the flavor, maybe because I didn't have the fenugreek. It was a savory hole that I think could be filled with something like chicken bullion or mushroom soup base... I will definitely make this again since most of the ingredients are pretty accessible!
Saw this recipe today and I just had to try it. Luckily, aside from the fenugreek, I had everything. And even more lucky I live next to an Indian grocery. Sticking to the recipe but I wonder what it would be like if you subbed some coconut milk for the cream. Cannot wait to try it.
Aloha, Chetna. What a gorgeous dish! Thank you for showing a shot of the quantity of ginger held in your hand before you chop it (it’s really helpful to know the proper quantity) 😊 🇬🇧 🇺🇸
Enjoy your videos. I have an office in Chennai India and have travelled all over India and Nepal. Love the food there! Due to Covid i have not been able to go for almost two years so i made this dish tonight with rice. We called this Gobi Butter Masala. What nationality is this recipe? North Indian or ?
Waa surprised that you didn't add a bit of sweet to the curry as it was being cooked, but the honey at the end fixed THAT problem. BTW, that pre-roasting of the cauliflower is a *great* idea; I've seen people who deep fry it, but that's really more suited to a commercial kitchen. Like all well-made Indian food, your food is delicious, delicate and well-made. Also rich and yummy.
Two questions: What do I use to substitute the butter if I want to make it vegan? Can I sun dried bay leaves for fresh? Thanks! Love your recipes! And great to see you again since GBB!!
There are a lot of great vegan butters commonly found in stores nowadays, like Earth Balance! You could probably sub in coconut oil, but it's going to be less creamy / decadent.
@@musicismylove92 thanks for that... I do use those subs, but they melt to oil versus a butter/milk solid, so I was hoping for more input... maybe a combination of nut milk or cashew butter-type stuff with the modern “margarines”.
@@TheDiverBob Coconut cream perhalps, the solids that set on top of canned coconut milk? it's not the same as the extracted oil, and should give you a creamy rather than oily melt, because its a suspension of lipids and hydrophilic components. The other thing you could try would be a very fine macadamia butter; those have a similar richness to normal butter. If you have a good food processor it shouldn't be too hard to buy raw macadamias, roast them and blitz them fine. And if you're picky push the mass through a fine sieve with a spatula. Haven't tried this, just brainstorming.
A cashew cream would probably work nicely. One of our other residents, Sohla El-Waylly, has a recipe on our site for that: food52.com/recipes/85252-braised-cabbage-cashew-milk-chile-crisp-recipe . You could use a bit less water if you wanted it thicker. (And you can watch her make it in the braising episode of her series, “Off-Script with Sohla”: ua-cam.com/video/zp9zjPdksrk/v-deo.html )
Hi Chenta Lovely recipe. What is the flavor that is imparted when adding Fenugreek? Your explanation does not provide any precision on the flavor it imparts. Thank you for reading my question
@@nannetteralphs9042 They are indeed bay leaves! We'd stick with cream if you can--the creamy, comforting texture is part of what makes this recipe so special.
Actually for this type of thing you don't need to add any water at all. You could, but really the point of cooking the tomato base is to concentrate the flavours - standard advice w/ curry is to cook the base until you see the oil separating from the tomatoes. Then once you've got that concentrated base, you can add water or other liquid to your taste/preference.
This one by Meera Sodha (but also filmed by food52!) is also GREAT! Will convert everyone in a cauliflower loverrr ua-cam.com/video/dn6qOgFHO7k/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Food52

Wow awesome recipe for a vegetarian version of butter chicken. Thank you

So glad to hear it! Adding a bit of sweetness to acidic ingredients like tomatoes always adds a nice touch.

Just made this dish and it was absolutely incredible !! 10/10
Love this! I still have some of the sauce frozen from when I made butter paneer and it will be great with cauliflower!
Another brilliant recipe. Thank you, Chetna!
I like to make this sort of curry with a can of chickpeas instead of cauliflower. Sooo Good.
Love that idea, Alex!
Looks great so going to try this as I’m overwhelmed with cauliflowers on my allotment. Good idea to cook a curry in a turmeric coloured top!

Love cauliflower and butter masala so I’ll have to try this!
Looks delicious
I absolutely love cauliflower
Me too
Got everything even Kasoori methii here ... This is going to be my evening meal tonight ... Can't wait.

The only thing I would add...is someone to make it for me! It looks delicious!
Hah! We hope you find someone, Kathy :).
Ram Ram Chetna... Tried this recipe... Its ymmmmmm even without garam masala, butter & cream.. thankyuuuuuuuuu.
Looks delicious 😋
I just made this tonight, it was so good!
Thank you for the recipe! What temperature did you roast the cauliflower at and for how long please? Thank you! Lynn
200C for 20 mins
Yum! I love your recipes! ♥️
made yesterday night, super recipe, butter and cauliflower are best friends here🙂👌
So glad to hear it!

You can use neutral oil like peanut oil and cashew cream
I make this all the time, it became a family staple dish ❤️
This looks amazing! Thanks for sharing your recipe!
looks amazing cant wait to try it
This looks and sounds super tasty. Thank you for sharing! :D
The best cauliflower I've ever eaten up till now.
This actually looks tasty ✌🏾🧼
Such a lovely kitchen 😍 !
@Ser Aeggo Butterworth those cabinet colors and counter top goo soo well together!
Just found you! So glad I did - Yummy dish!
Yeah
Great 👍 👌
Chetna is so lovely
What is a good cream substitute if I'm lactose intolerant? This looks DELICIOUS and I'd love to make!

Coconut milk would be good, it is used in the south of India.
made this tonight and it was perfect and cozy
What can I use instead of canned tomatoes?
lol I'm eating leftover home-made curry with rice for lunch, while watching Chetna making her curry! It's Curry-ception!
Yeah
YES. A thousand times, yes. 😋
Yeah
Chetna!
Hi Chenta Lovely recipe. What is the flavor that is imparted when adding Fenugreek? Your explanation does not provide any precision on the flavor it imparts. Thank you for reading my question
Holding your fingers in the midst of spattering oil -- that's so metal 🤘
hahaha
That looks DELICIOUS!!!!
Is the leaf at the beginning actually bay? The lighting in my room may be odd, but it looks shinier, like it might actually be a curry leaf... 🤔
Also, can I replace cream w yogurt? Or cream cheese?
@@nannetteralphs9042 They are indeed bay leaves! We'd stick with cream if you can--the creamy, comforting texture is part of what makes this recipe so special.
Her name is Makan, which literally means eating in Indonesian.
I can just smell it....
How much water was added right after the can of tomatoes was mixed in?
The exact measurements are probably on the recipy, which is linked in the description. Hope this helps!

You could, but really the point of cooking the tomato base is to concentrate the flavours - standard advice w/ curry is to cook the base until you see the oil separating from the tomatoes.

Hi Rebekah! You'll want to add 1 cup of water. Full ingredients list is up top in the video description, plus a link to the recipe itself.
Finally something that might convert my cauliflower- wary boyfriend
This one by Meera Sodha (but also filmed by food52!) is also GREAT! Will convert everyone in a cauliflower loverrr ua-cam.com/video/dn6qOgFHO7k/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Food52
Is it possible to make this without the tomatoes? Their acidity flares up the arthritis 😮
My mother always says "Whoever finds the bay leaf gets to kiss the cook!"!
Awwwww
In our house you got to make a wish. ;)
BTW, 200 C is just below 400 F. (I looked it up :P)
392 F
