Cauliflower Katsu Curry with Sticky Rice - - March 2024

For the sauce
 2 tbsp vegetable oil
 1 onion, chopped
 1 garlic clove, crushed
 2 tbsp mild curry powder
 2 tsp plain flour
 1 cup vegetable stock
  cup coconut milk
 1 tsp light soy sauce
 1 tsp honey
The main recipe
 1 whole cauliflower - cut into 1cm steaks through the root
 2 cups Jasmine rice
 4 cups water
 3 tbsp plain flour
 2 eggs, lightly beaten
 3 tbsp panko breadcrumbs
 ½ cup vegetable oil, for deep frying
 1 bunch coriander
 1 spring onion
1

Heat the oil in a pan and add the chopped onions, garlic, and ginger. Over medium heat, cook gently until the onions are transparent.

2

Once transparent, add the curry powder to the pan and mix well, combining all the flavors. Continue to cook on low heat for another minute before adding the flour and cooking for a minute.

3

Add the warm vegetable stock slowly to the pan, stirring continuously, and mixing well so as not to leave any lumps.

4

Once the stock is added, add the coconut milk and stir well.

5

Season the sauce with the sugar and soy sauce.

6

Blend using an immersion blender and keep warm.

7

Bring the water to a boil in a medium saucepan.

8

Stir in the rice, adding a good pinch of salt; cover and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 15 minutes until all of the water has been absorbed.

9

Taste the rice to make sure it is cooked to your liking. If the rice is still too hard, add a few more tablespoons of water and cook for 1 more minute.

10

Cover the pan, remove from the heat, and let the rice relax and absorb any excess water.

11

To pane the cauliflower steaks, first coat in flour, shaking off any excess, then add to the beaten egg, shaking off again and then coat in the breadcrumbs.

12

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fat fryer to 175c and gently add the steaks to the pan. Cook until golden brown and crispy.

13

Place the cauliflower steak onto paper to drain the excess oil.

14

Place a spoon of sticky rice onto the plate and some of the hot curry sauce next to the rice.

15

Sit the cauliflower steak on top of the sauce and garnish with coriander and finely sliced spring onions. This dish goes well with wok-fried greens or a simple Asian influenced salad.

16

Serve hot and enjoy!
