Cauliflower Tikka Masala

Cauliflower tikka masala is a spicy rich gravy in which grilled pieces of cauliflower florets are dunked and coated in it. This is a lip-smacking gravy that can be a super hit for any party! Perfect to go with any kind of Indian flatbread. I hope this veg version of chicken tikka masala will become a fav in your home too!

This gravy is spicy, with a little bit of tang and creaminess in it, exactly like how we get from a restaurant! The cauliflower pieces are nicely marinated and then grilled to perfection, as we can have it as a snack or side dish too! I paired it with rice crepes and it was yum! You can make nan or poori to accompany this! The cauliflower florets are so flavorful here that you can’t stop munching on it! You can adjust the consistency of gravy as per your preference by adding enough water.

If you want chicken tikka masala just replace the cauliflower with chicken! Here are 2more delicious cauliflower recipes check out the links  Cauliflower Masala and Cauliflower in tomato garlic sauce if you would like to!
