Instructions
filter_1 Set your rice to cook.
filter_2 In one small bowl, combine non-dairy milk with lemon juice and leave it to curdle for about 5 minutes. Add flour, turmeric, salt and pepper. Into the other bowl, pour the breadcrumbs.
filter_3 Line a baking sheet with baking parchment and preheat the oven to 200C. Dunk each cauliflower floret into the batter, followed by breadcrumbs. Make sure they are evenly coated before you put them on the baking sheet. Once all florets are coated, bake them for about 30 minutes. For Airfryer, set the temperature to 200C for about 15-20mins.
filter_4 To make the sauce, heat sesame oil in the saucepan. Add onion, garlic, ginger, carrot and chilli (if using). Saute for about 5-7 minutes. Add vegetable broth, soy sauce, and curry powder. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 15 minutes until the carrots are soft.
filter_5 Pour the sauce into the blender, along with the flour. Blend until smooth and pour it back into the saucepan. Keep it simmering until the rest of the elements come together.
filter_6 For the side, steam or microwave some peas or green beans (see packaging for instructions).
filter_7 To serve, plate rice, breaded cauliflower and peas or beans on the plate. Add some curry sauce and enjoy.
Notes
For the gluten-free option, swap regular flour and breadcrumbs for gluten-free. Use tamari soy sauce or liquid aminos instead of regular soy sauce. Soy or almond milk work best, but feel free to use any plant-based milk that is affordable and doesn’t trigger your allergies. For a less spicy sauce, omit the chilli pepper.Related posts
