This is an Anthony Bourdain recipe... but I am claiming it because I discovered it and I make it on a regular basis and everyone of my family and friends love it.Curried Cauliflower Flatbread1 medium
cauliflower (1 1/2 pounds), trimmed and finely chopped 4 tablespoons peanut oil, or
grapeseed, corn or olive oil Salt and ground black pepper 1 cup whole wheat flour 1 1/2 cups light coconut milk 1 tablespoon curry powder, or more
to taste. 1. Heat
oven to 400 degrees. Put cauliflower in a roasting pan, drizzle with a
tablespoon of oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss. Spread into a single
layer and roast until tender and nicely browned, tossing with a spatula halfway
through, for a total of 15 to 20 minutes. 2. While
cauliflower roasts, put flour into a bowl. Add one teaspoon of salt and coconut
milk, whisking to eliminate lumps. Batter should be about the consistency of
pancake batter. Set aside. 3. When
cauliflower is finished roasting, sprinkle it with curry powder and toss; fold
cauliflower into batter. 4. Pour
remaining oil into a 10-inch nonstick ovenproof skillet and put in oven. Wait a
couple of minutes for oil to get hot, then carefully remove pan, pour in
batter, spread it into an even layer and return skillet to oven. Bake for about
an hour, or until flatbread is well browned, firm and crisp around edges. (It
will release easily from pan when it is done.) Let it rest for a couple of
minutes before turning it out and cutting it into wedges. Yield:
4 to 8 appetizer servings. |

This looks lovely.
I was looking for another side to bring to an Easter Brunch on Sunday. I just found it I recently purchased a few containers of Sharwood's Mild Curry powder and was looking for a few recipes beyond my old stand-by Classy Chicken. I will post pics upon production. |

First attempt so bear with any errors from the original.
Cauliflower Roasted at 400F for 20 minutes turning once. But was still pale so I gave a further 15 minutes. I had no whole wheat flour so I used 3/4 cup white flour and 1/4 cup Soy Flour. We like curry, So I used 1 tablespoon mild curry powder and 1 Teaspoon medium curry powder. I had coconut oil so I used it instead of the listed oils to enhance the coconut flavor. Still in oven. Cooked pics to follow. |

I reduced the heat to 380f to compensate for my cast iron skillet and increased the cooking time by 15 minutes. This was my error as I believe this caused the inside to become a bit moist and gummy.
It would not release after resting so I had to quarter it in the pan and remove the quarters-Again my mistake in pan selection-next time I will use my non-stick skillet. Overall the recipe is very solid and the flavor is wonderful. Perhaps I could have roasted the cauliflower even more initially to dry it further to avoid the gumminess. Perhaps the white flour and soy are the culprits. I will be making this again and often!!1 |

Oh yum!
That looks great and my nose knows how totally great this smells in the house. Well done and I am dead chuffed you tried it. Some of the 'gumminess' can come from the coconut cream. You kind of have to learn to balance it with how 'wet' your cauli is. This is actually better made with a cauli that may have sat in the vege bin a few days too long. |

About a dozen of us in attendance and all but 2 people tried a small wedge.
My 2 year old niece had 3 mini wedges and was looking for more. Six people asked for the recipe. The comment was made a few times that this was a amazing dead simple recipe to produce the flavor and crunch of a Pakora without having to break out the fryer. A highly successful first attempt. My whole family thanks you. My wife said "Smart Lady" and asked if we had more cauliflower and coconut milk available. |

This was soooo good the first time that this evenings dinner guests that tried it at Easter asked if it could be on the menu tonight. I was happy to oblige. A few changes from my first attempt. I am cooking it in my Volrath Non-stick and I added a 1/4 c of chopped green onions that I had in the fridge and needed a home.
I also upped the soy flour to 1/3.
I have pics, however I just installed Windows 10 and the destinations are not the same. I will search some more Pics that I imported are lost in cyber space and Windows 10 also deleted those pics from my camera. But-Let me assure you that this recipe is awesome. My 82 year old Hungarian MIL had 3 nice warm wedges and then plastered about a 1/8" of butter on each.. Moving from cast iron to my Aluminum Volrath at 400F did the trick and the Flatbread slid right off and all gumminess issue were gone. I served this with some Roast Turkey and one guest asked if the curry powder could be replaced with some Herbes de Provence to mimic a Bread Turkey Dressing. I told her to go for it, But personally I will stick with the Original-Thank you very much |

And again!!!!!! This is sooo good I can't stay away for long. Found a cauli in the bin that was begging to be used. A bit of chill in the air-suspect we will see snow in the next 3 weeks. Overnight lows getting down to 3C lately. A perfect recipe for a day like today. I am grateful for this recipe and this forum.

Brined and smoking a Turkey for supper tonight. Decided to make this yet again with a small twist. Added a 1/2 package of Creamed Coconut
to the coconut milk. Upped the flour with a 1/3 cup of Gluten free flour that has been sitting in the cupboard waiting for a home. And decided on Jamaican Curry Powder since bringing some back from a trip there last Nov.
Finished the Turkey in the house last 6 Degrees F due to an unexpected rather persistent hail storm |
