Method

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
