Whether it’s a one-pot Indian curry or daal, a hearty salad with warm bread, or these cauliflower tacos.
How to serve Indian Cauliflower Tacos
With all of the fillings served at the table, this vegan dinner is perfect for assembling as you eat. That way, you can add more or less of whatever you like. The only problem you might have is fitting it all into the one tortilla. I’ve made that mistake way more than I care to remember – especially when there’s avocado and coriander sauce involved.
Can I use cauliflower and broccoli?
The batter for the cauliflower is puffy, light and packed with spices reminiscent of bhajia – a super popular Indian starter. If you like, you can use all cauliflower, or add in broccoli florets for an extra flourish of green. The choice is yours.
How to make Indian Cauliflower Tacos
Like fish tacos, the bite-sized vegetables are coated and fried until golden and crispy. It’s best to do this right before serving so they’re hot and delicious for your vegan tacos.
The creamy avocado sauce
Packed with lime, garlic and yoghurt, the creamy sauce is perfectly balanced to douse any heat from the fried green chillies. It’s not guacamole, but rather a smooth avocado sauce, much like a dip. It’s so tempting to eat this avocado sauce right from the blender with a spoon or maybe some tortilla chips.
The salad
A crunchy salad of radish, red onion, lime and a few spices tops these tacos off beautifully. The contrast of the hearty fried veggies and fresh salad, lettuce, fruity pineapple chutney and crunchy toasted cashews is so dreamy. Indeed, everybody will feel like they’ve eaten a filling meal.
Pineapple chutney for Indian Cauliflower Tacos
The pineapple chutney is a lovely way to round off the sharp flavours in the dish. It’s quick, easy and perfect not only with these tacos, but also with Paratha.
Some final notes before we get to the recipe
Don’t be alarmed by the long list of ingredients here. Most of the prep is super simple and just assembling or blending. The only actual cooking is of the cauliflower and broccoli. The chutney can even be made up to a week in advance. Just store it in the fridge. So this year, take some time to sit around the table with your family and friends and enjoy a meal that was made for sharing. This one certainly was.
