Cauliflower Coconut Curry

  • 1 large onion
  • cayenne pepper, to taste
  • 2 teaspoons coriander
  • 1/8 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1/8 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 4 peppercorns
  • 2 cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon tamarind paste
  • 1 inch fresh ginger root
  • oil, for sauteing
  • 1 lb cauliflower
  • 14 ounces coconut milk

Combine all but the last three ingredients in a food processor; run the processor until it forms a paste. Add a little oil and/or a little water if ingredients have trouble processing. Saute in a pan with the cauliflower and oil for a few minutes until aromatic. Add the coconut milk and simmer until cauliflower reaches desired tenderness. If the curry gets too dry as it simmers, add a little water so that it finishes with a thick, gravy-like sauce.
