Luckily for me, I am home already.
I just cleaned out my fridge and some cupboard space. The relevant contents:
1 head of cauliflower
Applesauce
4 small potatoes
Frozen peas
Frozen chopped ginger
You see where this is going already, huh.
Pour 1/2 c of water and some olive oil in an ovenproof casserole or pot, with a cover, at least 3.5 qt capacity. Add about 1T of curry powder, some garam masala, a little cardamom, 1/2 t of fennel seeds, a few pinches of salt, and however much cayenne you think you can stand. Toss in dried onion flakes if you have them, about 1 T. Put the pot in the oven and start preheating to 365. Chop up the potatoes and rinse them (slice some skin off if you feel like it) and put them in that pot in the oven. Then chop up the head of cauliflower, rinse and drain it, and put it in the pot on top of the potatoes.
Cook for 45 minutes (covered) in the oven. An hour was too long, mine is quite mushy but I can see that if I had caught it earlier it would be fine.
After 45 minutes, stir and add about 1/3 cup applesauce (more if you want it sweeter, I used 2/3 C at least and it's sweeter than I'd like). Throw in chopped ginger as desired (start with 1 T, but I like 2 T or more), and more cayenne if you want. Toss in 1 or 2 C of frozen peas and cover them in the hot food if they're still frozen in clumps. Cover again and put back in the oven for 10 more minutes. Taste, correct the salt and add pepper if desired, and eat!
Mine is too sweet from too much applesauce, most of the way to mushy cuz I let it go for a full hour before checking, and very spicy. The little peas sorta pop when you bite them. My version is flawed, but even so it's totally awesome. I don't even like peas, other than in dishes like this! Really, this dish is a little sweet for me as I made it tonight, but I've written the proportions down in what I think should be the correct amounts.
