  1. ROAST VEGGIES

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread out the cauliflower pieces and drained chickpeas on a roasting tray. Coat in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven for 25-30 minutes until the chickpeas are crispy and the cauliflower is charred, shifting halfway.

  2. DAIRY-FREE RAITA

    Boil the kettle. Grate the cucumber and place it between some paper towel to soak up excess liquid. Combine the cashew nut yoghurt, the grated cucumber, and three-quarters of the chopped mint in a bowl. Season to taste and set aside for serving. Dilute the vegetable stock with 100ml of boiling water.

  3. MAKE THE MASALA

    Place a large pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion for 2-3 minutes until soft and translucent, shifting occasionally. Mix in the Indian Rub and half of the chopped chilli (both to taste). Set aside the remaining chilli for another meal. Add the grated garlic and fry for another minute. Stir in the cooked chopped tomatoes and diluted vegetable stock. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-10 minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally.

  4. POP ON THOSE POPPADOMS

    Place a clean pan over a medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. When the oil is hot, shallow fry the poppadoms one at a time for 30 seconds per side. As soon as the poppadom starts curling, use a spatula or tongs to flip it over and flatten it out. Keep flipping and flattening until golden and puffed up.

  5. FINAL TOUCH!

    When the curry sauce has 2 minutes to go, add the roast cauliflower and half of the crispy chickpeas. Simmer for another 1-2 minutes. Season to taste and add a sweetener of choice to balance any acidity.

  6. GET STUCK IN!

    Dish up a bowl of the chunky chana masala and scatter over the remaining crispy chickpeas. Garnish with the remaining chopped mint and serve with the golden poppadoms and dairy-free raita on the side. Wonderful work, Chef!
