Making this humble cauliflower korma aka Gobi Kurma is an effortless task. This luscious curry dish makes a flavorsome side for dinner/lunch. However, this satisfying and rich vegetarian curry is also ideal for the festivals and celebrations. It curry works absolutely great with paratha, roti, naan, plain rice or pulao.

There are so many ways of making a kurma depending upon the cooking technique and ingredients used. This particular recipe of cauliflower Korma is cooked with a bunch of aromatic whole spices, some powdered spices, onion, ginger-garlic, coconut, cream, and cashew milk.

The cashew milk gives this curry a thick, nutty & creamy texture and very rich taste. You can also use whole milk instead of cashew milk.

For this gravy dish, I have also added green peas to this spicy and tantalizing cauliflower curry, which gives this curry a pleasant and wonderful contrasting color.

Some tips for making cauliflower korma:

  1. I have added cashew milk to this recipe, but you can also use almond milk or regular milk.

  3. Cardamom powder is optional, but I would highly recommend you to use it. This magical ingredient creates a huge difference.
