Cauliflower massaman curry

By TASTE
3-4
Easy
10-15 minutes
30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 T vegetable oil
  • 1 x 70 g sachet Woolworths Blue Elephant massaman curry paste 
  • 1 x 400 ml can coconut cream
  • 300 g cauliflower, blanched
  • 1 potato, diced
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 1 ½ T sugar
  • 1 t rice vinegar
  • 1 T light soy sauce
  • ½ handful cashew nuts or unsalted roasted peanuts
  • Thai jasmine rice, for serving 
  • cashew nuts or roasted peanuts, to garnish
  • Optional spices:

  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 2 star anise
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 3 cardamom pods

Method

1. Heat the oil in a saucepan over a medium heat. Add the curry paste and sauté until fragrant.

2. Pour in half the coconut cream and stir gently until the mixture begins to simmer.

3. Add the cauliflower and potato, along with the optional spices if using. Pour in the remaining coconut cream and the water. Bring to a gentle boil.

4. Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar and sugar and adjust the seasoning to taste.

5. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until the cauliflower and potatoes are fully cooked.

6. Garnish with cashew nuts or roasted peanuts and serve hot with Thai jasmine rice.

Cook’s note: For a more authentic Thai flavor profile, substitute palm sugar for regular sugar and add tamarind juice for a richer balance of sweetness and acidity.
