Directions
Tomato Chickpea Curry
Step 1

Heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion and ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, and cook over medium heat until soft and translucent, about 10 minutes (if the onion starts to brown, add a few tablespoons of water to the pan to prevent them from coloring). Add the minced garlic, ginger, cumin, coriander, mustard, turmeric, cayenne, and ½ teaspoon kosher salt and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 2

Add the chopped tomatoes, reserved tomato juice, and ½ cup water. Bring the curry to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until thickened, 15-20 minutes. Add the chickpeas and heat through.

Cauliflower Steaks
Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400° F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.

Step 2

Slice the cauliflower head into ¼-inch thick slices. Place the four center steaks on the baking sheet. (Reserve the rest of the cauliflower, which will be crumblier, smaller pieces, for something else.) In a small bowl, stir together oil, and turmeric. Drizzle spiced oil over cauliflower steaks and rub over to evenly coat, then sprinkle with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper.

Step 3

Bake until the steaks are browned on the bottoms and the stalk portion of the steak is tender, 20-25 minutes.

Yogurt Sauce
Step 1

Stir together yogurt, garlic, cumin, cayenne, kosher salt, and cilantro.

Step 2

To serve, spoon some curry on the bottom of the plate and top with cauliflower steak. Drizzle with yogurt sauce and sprinkle with additional cilantro leaves.
