Curries are one of my absolute favourite dishes to make and for the reason, you will find a huge variety of them here on Slimming Eats.

This Chicken and Cauliflower Curry are one I make quite often. I love all the unique blend of spices used in this and it comes packed with delicious speed foods, which help make sure you get some of that 1/3 speed foods on your plate.

Some of the spices might be items you don’t have on hand in your cupboard or pantry, but they keep for a long time and trust me when I say that once you make this, you will definitely want to make it again and again, so you don’t have to worry about stocking up on items you are never going to use.

When I first started cooking for myself many years ago, my spice collection, was pretty non-existent. Now, however, I have an entire drawer stacked with jars of various spices for all kinds of different cuisine.

Even the blandest of food can be turned into something incredible if you have some good spices, herbs or seasonings to flavour your food with.

If you are just getting adventurous with cooking, don’t go crazy buying loads of spices all at once, because you may find some are items you are never going to really use.

Look at recipes you like the look of, and gradually start building up your collection, buying 1 or 2 new spices a week. It’s much easier on the budget too.

Also don’t be afraid to buy certain spices in bulk, from places like Amazon or speciality food stores for Indian or Chinese food etc. They tend to be so much cheaper than at the grocery store and are not those little tiny jars, that don’t last very long at all.

Some of my most often used spices and the ones I tend to go through the quickest are cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric and chilli powder. I never ever buy a small little jar of those spices.

As well as stove top, This Chicken and Cauliflower Curry can also be cooked in a pressure cooker. I have Instant Pot which is my favourite kitchen gadget at the moment.

It is basically a 7in1 cooker, and it slow cooks, pressure cooks, saute’s, has settings for soup, chilli, rice, porridge and even makes yoghurt (I haven’t tried that yet).

Check out all these other amazing Pressure Cooker Recipes
This is also perfect for adding to the slow cooker if you want a yummy meal all ready for you when you get home from work. You will love the amazing aroma of spices this Chicken and Cauliflower Curry will fill your kitchen with and all that will be left to do is to cook up whatever sides you want to serve it with.
You can either chop all the veg by hand or if you own a food processor, save some time, by adding all the veg (apart from the cauliflower) into the food processor and doing a couple of pulses of the blade until finely chopped.
I like to use my  Nutri Ninja Food Processor with Auto IQ technology, but any food processor with a chopping blade should do the same thing.

Prep 15 mins

Cook 1 hour

Total 1 hour, 15 mins

Author Slimming Eats

Yield 4 servings

This recipe is gluten free, dairy free, Slimming World and Weight Watchers friendly

  • Extra Easy - syn free per serving
  • Original/Red - syn free per serving (serve with cauliflower rice)
  • WW Smart Points  - 2

Ingredients

  • 500g (17.5oz)of boneless chicken thighs (skinned and all fat removed)
  • 600g (21oz) of cauliflower, broke into florets
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small zucchini (courgette), finely chopped
  • 1 large carrot, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves of garlic, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon of fresh grated ginger
  • 2 large fresh tomatoes, skinned and deseeded, then roughly chopped
  • 2 level tablespoons of tomato paste
  • 480 (2 cups) of chicken stock
  • 6 cardamom pods
  • 4 cloves
  • 1 tsp of cumin seeds
  • 2 teaspoons of cumin
  • 2 teaspoons of coriander
  • 2 teaspoons of turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon of garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon of chilli powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon of all spice
  • spray oil
  • Salt and Black Pepper
  • fresh coriander to serve

Instructions

Stove Top:

  1. Spray a large saucepan over a medium-high heat with spray oil, fry the onion, carrots, garlic and ginger with the cumin seeds until softened.
  2. Add all the spices, zucchini, tomatoes and tomato paste and stir to evenly coat all the vegetables until you have a kind of paste-like mixture.
  3. Add the stock and place in the chicken thigh meat, bring to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer for approx 45mins
  4. Add the cauliflower halfway through cooking time, you don’t want to overcook it so that it all falls to pieces, I like to have chunks of cauliflower in the curry.
  5. Season with salt and pepper as needed and serve with some chopped coriander

Instant Pot:

  1. Set instant pot to saute mode, once hot, spray with spray oil and  fry the onion, carrots, garlic and ginger with the cumin seeds until softened.
  2. Add all the spices, tomatoes and tomato paste and stir to evenly coat all the vegetables until you have a kind of paste-like mixture.
  3. Add the stock and place in the chicken thigh meat and cauliflower.
  4. Add lid, close valve and set to 8 mins manual high pressure.
  5. Allow the pressure to release naturally.
  6. To thicken sauce, set to saute mode and simmer for a few minutes to reduce down. 

Slow Cooker:

  • If you prefer follow the first few steps on the stove and then transfer all ingredients to the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 hours. 

Notes

Add a more authentic Indian taste by using 1 tbs of ghee (6 syns) instead of spray oil. Works out as 1.5 syns per serving.

    This was delicious but just one question. The recipe said courgette but the method said celery? I used celery as it wS what needed using up and it was lovely

    It should be courgette, I typed this up late at night, so obviously got celery in my head half asleep lol. Either would work fine though and both are speed foods, so all good.

    Excellent recipe. Made this tonight. Only adjustments I made were I only added half a tap of chilli powder and I blended the sauce after 20 mins of simmering then added my chicken (was using chicken breast) and cauliflower. I also added a small palmfull of dried fenugreek towards end of cooking. Will definitely make again, the kids loved it.

    Made this last night with cauliflower and butter beans. Loved the flavour and was pleased I had all that spices in my collection. I’ll use the base again with other main ingredients.
