One-Pot Potato Cauliflower Curry

I dunno about you, but I am LIVING for one-pot meals at the moment.

December crazies made a little more manageable with a rich coconut sauce, loads of spices, and just enough veg to call it a well-rounded meal.

Let’s do it, friends.

December is such a busy time of the year for us. Not only do we have the very obvious Christmas, New Years, end-of-the-year festivities, we have three birthdays: my dad, Fooduzzi, and me (more on the latter two later this week!).

So one-pot meals are a life-saver. At the end of a long day, especially after its been dark since 4pm, the last thing I want to do is make a giant elaborate meal. Especially especially since we tend to wolf down our dinners in about five minutes in order to get back to work.

But this is a meal that encourages you to take a breath. Sit back, inhale, and enjoy. Make this meal, and the TV turns off. Your neck unhinges. That go-go-go voice in your brain suddenly goes silent. And what a gloriously silent moment it is.

That, my friend, is the power of this curry.

Simple, creamy, filling, protein-filled, and endlessly customizable. That’s what this curry is bringing to the (dinner) table.

It’s kind of a rift on aloo gobi, my go-to at Indian restaurants, because this recipe features cauliflower and potatoes. I just love that combo so much. That said, feel free to throw in something green (edamame, spinach, kale, etc.), swap out the potato (for sweet, yukon, or red), or keep it as-is. You do you.

It also has a bunch of seasonings (curry powder, smoked paprika, garam masala, cayenne, turmeric) and flavor-packed ingredients (coconut, pumpkin, onion, garlic, ginger). Garam masala is a new-to-us seasoning blend that I really like, but if you don’t have it, you can probably just add some extra curry powder and call it a day.

And then it all goes in a pot, cooks for 30ish minutes, and boom. Done. Serve it up with pita or naan, chopped green onion, salted peanuts (our fave!), pickled jalapeno, and/or Sriracha. Or your favorite toppings!

Simple, comforting yum. Curry is the best best best, and we seriously have it at least once or twice a week.

We just can’t stop. We’re curry fiends. Don’t tell ya I didn’t warn ya.
