  • 140g frozen mango
  • 400g soy yoghurt

CAULIFLOWER:

METHOD

1. Break the cauliflower into florets, coat in the batter & place on a baking tray. Sprinkle it with salt, and oil and bake for 25 minutes at 200.

2. Whilst the cauliflower is baking, heat the oil in a large saucepan. Simmer the onions and cook down until caramelised, then add the garlic and cook for 5 minutes. Add spices and tomato paste & cook for a further minute.

3. Add passata, maple syrup, chopped tomatoes, salt, water & fenugreek leaves. Simmer for 20 minutes to allow flavours to develop & reduce slightly. Take off the heat and blend to create your perfect tikka sauce.

4. Place the pan back on the heat, bring it back to a simmer & add the arrowroot slurry. Whisk & cook until the sauce thickens slightly.

5. Whilst that’s simmering, steam the butternut cubes until soft & blend them with the mango to make a puree. Add into the tikka sauce and leave to cool to whisk the soy yoghurt.

6. Now you’re ready to plate up. Garnish with vegetables & almonds. Serve with a piece of delicious vegan naan or rice.
