Medium Curry Spiced Cauliflower Cheese

Medium Curry spiced cauliflower cheese with a golden bubbling cheese topping, breadcrumbs and fresh herbs

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.

🧾 Ingredients

  • 1 large cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 40g butter
  • 40g plain flour
  • 500ml milk
  • 1½ tbsp Medium Curry Powder
  • 150g mature Cheddar, grated
  • 40g breadcrumbs
  • 2 spring onions, sliced

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Steam or boil the cauliflower until just tender and place in a baking dish.
  2. Melt butter, stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk.
  3. Stir in curry powder and most of the cheese until smooth.
  4. Pour over cauliflower and top with remaining cheese and breadcrumbs.
  5. Bake at 200°C/180°C fan for 20 minutes until bubbling and golden. Scatter with spring onions.
