This Vindaloo Roasted Cauliflower and Chickpeas recipe combines cauliflower and chickpeas with a Vindaloo Curry Seasoning. We also added a dressing with mustard seeds, pepper, cayenne, cinnamon and the unique fenugreek. Spicy!
Yep, this is the third Monday in a row I’m sharing one of the delicious curry-inspired recipes Frontier Natural asked me to create using their products. This recipe features their delicious Vindaloo Curry Powder, which is currently residing in a place of honor in my spice rack (front row, eye-level). I’ve been sprinkling it on just about everything and it is deeeelicious.
Roasted chickpeas have been all the rage in recent years, but I think people neglect cauliflower as an ingredient. Roasted in a savory mixture of ghee (clarified butter) and Vindaloo curry powder, it’s hard not to fall in love with the cauliflower in this recipe.
If you don’t have ghee on hand (uh, like most people who aren’t me), you can substitute vegetable oil.
Ready for the Chickpeas and Cauliflower Vindaloo deliciousness?
Here’s the Recipe!

Instructions
For the Roasted Cauliflower and Chickpeas:
