Hey Foodies,
Today I’m going to show you how to make Indian butter cauliflower. This is inspired by the famous Indian butter chicken and for that reason, people sometimes refer to it as vegan butter chicken.
I know, vegan chicken sounds kinda funny and somewhat confusing that’s why I’ll keep referring to it as Indian butter cauliflower or vegan butter cauliflower.
This recipe is not just crazy delish but also super healthy; it’s vegan, gluten-free, Whole30, and Paleo.
Oh, and it’s so easy even a kid can make it; it’s really one of my best 30-minute lunch or dinner ideas.
And if that doesn’t make you want to run to the grocery store for cauliflower and make it straight away, then perhaps my Tips & Tricks will.
So stick around ’cause it gets yummylicious.
Now let’s dive in, shall we?!
1. Which ingredients can be replaced in this vegan butter cauliflower recipe
You can replace the coconut oil with vegan butter if you want to keep it vegan. If not, you can use normal unsalted butter, ghee, or clarified butter.
I personally love coconut cream flavor and that’s why I use it very often in my recipes but I know that tastes can vary and this may not be your cup of tea. In this case, you can substitute coconut cream with heavy cream but bear in mind that it won’t be vegan anymore.
Also, it’s worth noting that coconut cream is different than coconut milk.
Now here’s another yummylicious trick.
2. Try it with grilled cauliflower
Another thing that you can change in this recipe is the way you cook the cauliflower.
I broiled it and it came out super delish but I strongly recommend you to try it with grilled cauliflower as well.
Grilling veggies and protein enhances their natural flavors and those grill marks add a delicious smoky flavor too.
The recipe would be pretty much the same, the difference is that you’d have to grill the cauliflower instead of broiling it. Also, you will have to break the cauliflower into bite-sized florets, or slice it into ‘steaks’.
So if you live in the warmer parts of the world, fire up the grill and starting grilling cauliflower.
But first, let’s see which sides go well with Indian butter cauliflower.
3. What to serve with vegan butter cauliflower
Here are a few side ideas that go perfectly with this butter roasted cauliflower:
Naan bread
Cooked rice
Green salads
Thai Rice Salad
Quinoa Salad
Now let’s go further and see how to make a version of this Indian butter cauliflower with meat. Vegans will probably not like this next section so they might want to skip to the next one.
4. How to make Indian butter cauliflower with meat
If you use dairy butter instead of coconut oil and chicken rather than cauliflower you’ll get the popular Indian butter chicken.
The cooking method would be pretty much the same. You’d have to cut the chicken in bite-sized pieces, then season it with spices, garlic, ginger, and olive oil. Then you can either let it marinate between 30 minutes and 2 hours or cook it straight away.
Cook the chicken until nicely browned, then set it aside on a plate. Then make the Indian sauce as in the butter cauliflower recipe below.
Once the sauce is done, stir in the chicken and all the juices left in the plate, then simmer for a few more minutes until heated through.
You can also make this recipe with turkey or beef. The cooking method would be pretty much the same, it’s just that you might want to cook the beef a little longer, depending on your taste.
Now you should have a clear idea of how to make this butter roasted cauliflower recipe, so it’s time for the actual cooking.
