Medium Curry Spiced Cauliflower Cheese
Classic cauliflower cheese gets a warming Spice & Dipity twist in this bubbling, golden comfort-food favourite. Tender cauliflower is coated in a creamy mature Cheddar sauce, then finished with breadcrumbs and extra cheese for that irresistible crisp, browned topping.
🌶️ Our Medium Curry Powder cuts beautifully through the richness of the cheese and gives a familiar British dish a gently spiced curry-house character. Serve it as a hearty vegetarian main with naan and salad, or use it as a seriously good side dish with roast chicken.
