Masala Cauliflower Potato Wraps

During the week I always try to cook quick and simple meals. I often make use of both vegetables and pulses (fresh, frozen or canned) and enhance their flavour with a mix of spices and herbs.

It’s been a while since our last curry night. So I decided to prepare a cauliflower masala with peas and sweet potatoes. The recipe would normally require regular potatoes, so feel free to use that if you do not have sweet potatoes in your pantry. I used canned peas, but you can also use frozen peas: in this case, you will have to stir in the frozen peas at the same time when you add the cauliflower and potato.

This is a very simple curry, yet incredibly delicious. You can serve this dish as main, with some rice on the side, or eat it in a wrap with chapati or paratha. The latter is probably not the most conventional way to eat it, but it’s the one I prefer!
