Cauliflower and Carrot Curry
Recipe By :Adapted from Pressure Cooking for Everyone by Rodgers and Ward
Serving Size : 6
Using lite coconut milk or soymilk with 1/2 tsp. of coconut extract added
will reduce the fat content of this delicious curry without reducing the flavor.
2 tablespoons water
4 medium carrots -- 1/2-inch rounds
1 large onion -- chopped
1 garlic clove -- finely chopped
2 teaspoons madras-style curry powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional, to taste)
1 1/4 pounds cauliflower,
broken into 1/2-inch florets
1 cup low sodium vegetable broth
1/2 cup canned unsweetened coconut milk (lite)
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
1 cup thawed frozen petite peas
6 cups hot cooked rice -- for serving (2 cups raw basmati rice)
chopped fresh cilantro (optional) -- for garnish
1. In a 5- to 7-quart pressure cooker, heat 2 tbsp. water over medium-high
heat. Add the carrots, onion, and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until the onion
begins to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the curry, cumin, and salt and stir until
fragrant, about 20 seconds. Add the cauliflower, stock, and coconut milk.
2. Lock the lid in place. Bring to high pressure over high heat. Adjust the
heat to maintain the pressure. Cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and
quick-release the pressure. Open the lid, tilting it away from you to block any
escaping steam.
3. In a small bowl, sprinkle the cornstarch over the water and stir to
dissolve. Stir the dissolved cornstarch and peas into the cooking liquid. Bring
to a boil-the sauce will be lightly thickened. Serve immediately, spooned over
the rice, sprinkling with cilantro, if desired.
NOTES : This recipe, adapted from Rick's book On Rice, makes an almost
instant vegetarian dinner. It is great spooned over basmati rice. Madras curry
powder is a mild blend, and the one most likely to be found in supermarkets. If
you buy your curry powder at a spice shop, be sure it is not too hot for your
taste.
