- Add some olive oil to the pan and sauté the onion and chili until the onion is translucent over a medium heat setting. Cooking the chili at this stage will reduce some of the heat. Add the tomatoes and ginger-garlic paste; stir-fry.
- Take the pan from the heat or reduce the heat to the minimum. Stir in the seasoning, the turmeric, curry powder, salt, and pepper. Stir and cook all this for a minute on a lower heat setting; the spices should not burn. Then add the tomato paste and cream, and mix well.
- Continue to add in the water (or broth) and the potato and cauliflower.
- Simmer for about 20 minutes over a medium-low heat setting covered or until the potato and cauliflower are cooked through. The masala curry should thicken.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh coriander. See serving suggestions in the post below.
Notes
Add more water or broth to the curry while it's simmering down if it's getting too dry. Adjust as required. The cooked masala curry should be as per the images.
