When it comes to vegetable curry, this recipe is my go-to. This pairs perfectly with rice or roti. Potato cauliflower curry is highly customizable and can be made in various ways, including a fried version, gravy, or soup version.

Personally, I prefer to make it in the thick gravy version that pairs perfectly with rice. If I have leftover curry sauce at home, I usually add it to create a thicker version.
