Cooking Instructions
Instructions for 2 people (double for 4)
1
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ 425°F/ Gas 7
Boil a kettle
Chop the cauliflower[s] into small florets
Chop the potato[es] (skins on) into small, bite-sized pieces
2
Add the cauliflower florets and chopped potato to a large pot with plenty of boiled water and a pinch of salt
Bring to the boil over a high heat and cook for an initial 13 min (approx. step 4)
Peel and finely chop the red onion[s]
Peel and finely chop (or grate) the garlic and ginger
3
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-low heat
Once hot, add 3/4 of the chopped onion (save the rest for later!) with a pinch of salt and cook for 5 min or until softened
Dissolve the Knorr vegetable stock cube[s] and tomato paste in 200ml [400ml]boiled water - this is your tomato stock
4
Once the potato and cauliflower have been cooking for 13 min, add the peas to the pot and cook for 2-3 min further
Once everything is fork-tender and easy to mash, drain and set aside
5
Once the onion has softened, add the curry powder, cayenne pepper (can't handle the heat? Go easy!), fennel seeds, chopped ginger and garlic and cook for 2 min or until fragrant
Add the drained veg with the tomato stock and mash until smooth but still retaining some texture
Add 15g [30g]butter, the juice of half[all]lime and a pinch of salt and stir it all together
6
Meanwhile, add the brioche rolls to a baking tray and put the tray in oven for 3-4 min or until warmed through and lightly golden
7
Chop the coriander finely, including the stalks
Add most of the chopped coriander to the pan and stir it all together
Cook for 1-2 min further or until thickened to a bolognese-like consistency – this is your cauliflower pav bhaji
Cut the remaining lime into wedges
