Ingredients

  • 600g Rooster potatoes, cut into wedges

  • 300g cauliflower florets

  • 1½ tbsp ground cumin (½ tbsp for roasting, 1 tbsp for the sauce)

  • 3 large tomatoes, finely diced

  • 2 tbsp butter

  • 1 tbsp ground turmeric

  • 2 cloves of garlic, crushed

  • 1 onion, finely chopped

  • 125g full-fat yogurt

  • ½ tbsp ground garam masala

  • A handful of fresh coriander, chopped

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation

1. Roast the Potatoes and Cauliflower

  • Preheat oven to 200°C (392°F).

  • Arrange potato wedges and cauliflower florets on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, and ½ tbsp of ground cumin.

  • Roast for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

2. Prepare the Masala Sauce

  • While the veggies roast, finely dice 3 tomatoes.

  • In a deep pot, melt 2 tbsp butter over low heat. Add the remaining 1 tbsp of cumin, 1 tbsp of turmeric, and the crushed garlic. Stir until fragrant.

  • Add the chopped onion and diced tomatoes to the pot. Cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes until softened, then season with salt and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes to develop a rich, thick sauce.

3. Add Yogurt and Spices

  • Mix in the 125g of full-fat yogurt and ½ tbsp ground garam masala, stirring until the sauce is creamy and well-combined.

  • Remove from heat and let the flavors meld together.

4. Combine Roasted Veggies with Sauce
