Mango Cashew Cauliflower Curry with Quick Indian Lime Pickle and Yogurt Raita
This Vegetarian Mango Cashew Cauliflower Curry is made using our Spicy Summer Mango Chutney. To prep the cauliflower florets we season them with a yogurt and spice mixture and roast in the oven, then we make a traditional curry paste to fry off your cauliflower and finish it with a simmer sauce made of our Spicy Summer Mango Chutney, coconut milk and ground cashews. We serve this curry with a side of Indian spiced pickled lime and a cucumber cilantro yogurt raita which are both perfect additions to add some tang and bitter clash to the sweet coconut mango curry. It may seem like a lot of steps to make this dish, but it's really fairly simple and it is absolutely delicious. If you are still spending a lot of time at home due to COVID19 like we are, then its a great way to spend the evening, cooking in the kitchen - drinking some wine...learning how to make Indian at home!

Condiment Sides To Make and Serve with Your Mango Cauliflower Curry:
Indian Lime Pickle & Cucumber Cilantro Yogurt Raita
STEP 1: MAKE QUICK INDIAN LIME PICKLE
HOW TO MAKE QUICK INDIAN LIME PICKLE
Traditionally Indian Lime Pickle needs to be fermented and is not ready for a couple weeks, but we made a modified version of traditional Indian lime pickle to serve as a nice contrast to the sweet mango cashew curry - we didn't make it really spicy like traditional Indian Lime Pickle and the lime will be a bit bitter because it doesn't have time to mellow out. The tangy bold slightly bitter lime pickle was a wonderful accompaniment to the dish adding a nice ying to the yang of flavors. You don't need much to add a little sass to the dish.
Quick Indian Lime Pickle Ingredients:
1 lime cut into 16ths - cut lime in half, then into wedges and then cut wedges in 1/2
1 Tbsp salt

STEP 4: MAKE YOUR CURRY PASTE
In a small bowl, mix together spices and 2 Tbs water and let sit for a minute (this allows your spices to "bloom" and lets the flavors release.) In a large skillet on medium high heat, add oil and then add water/spice mixture. Stir fry spices together for 5 minutes.
