Recipes: Raw Cauliflower Curry with sweet sauce
Zoe’s Cauliflower Curry with Sweet Sauce has to be the best raw food recipe I have found. It is SOOOO good!
Cauliflower Curry with Sweet Sauce- Raw Vegan
This is slightly adapted from the samosa recipe in “Raw food real world” Sarma M. and Matthew Kenney.
You can make Indian crepes or even tortilla type breads and wrap the curry it up to make samosas with it, or just eat it with the sauce as it is.
Ingredients:
1 cauliflower, florets only
1 tablespoon garam masala
1 tablespoon special curry blend (hot and spicy Indian type) or substitute garam masala with a little hot red chili pepper.
1 tablespoon fresh ginger
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup fresh peas
1 handful fresh coriander (cilantro)
12 dates
1 tablespoon raw olive oil
1 banana
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon fresh ginger
½ small red hot chilli pepper, de seed
1 cup water
¾ cup pine nuts
Preparation:
Pulse the cauliflower a few times in the food processor so it is like rice.
In your blender add: pine nuts, water, 1 tablespoon garam masala, special curry blend, salt, and ginger. Blend until smooth like heavy thick cream. Have a taste.
Mix the cream with the cauliflower, add the peas and the coriander and stir in by hand, or with your hands like I do!
To make the sweet sauce:
Puree in your blender: dates, olive oil, banana, cumin, 1 teaspoon ginger, chilli pepper, salt.
Put a few dollops of the sweet sauce on top of the cauliflower curry. Try it without the sweet sauce, some prefer it that way.
Tonight I’m going to try it with Roshi’s Kofta. I loved his kofta recipe but not the curry sauce. I think it will taste excellent with a little of Zoe’s sauce.
Roshi’s Kofta Koftas: - Raw Vegan
* 1 1/2 handfuls walnuts
* 1/2 tsp cumin
* 1/2 tsp coriander
* 1 tsp Nama Shoyu/Bragg’s Liquid Aminos
* 1 large soft date
Pulse walnuts, cumin, coriander and nama shoyu in food processor until walnuts are in small pieces. Mash mixture together and roll into little balls
Meal Plan:
Breakfast- large green juice, blueberries and strawberries
Lunch- Not sure yet… but some sort of salad
Dinner- Samosa (Zoe’s recipe above wrapped in collard greens), Malai Kofta (using Zoe’s Curry and Roshi’s Kofta).
Yesterday:
Breakfast- mixed fruit
Lunch- Zoe’s Cauliflower Curry with Sweet Sauce
Dinner- (it was so good I had it again!) Zoe’s Cauliflower Curry with Sweet Sauce, with a large piece of Naan. (naan not raw)
