  1. Chunkly chop the cauliflower (including the stalks and leaves), carrot and onion

  3. Pop all the vegetables, rosemary and garlic in an ovenproof dish, dripple with olive oil
  4. Cover with foil and roast for 30 minutes at 190°C (I cooked a jacket potato at the same time)

  6. Blend with around 3 mugs of water
  7. Pour into a pan, add the garam masala, cook for a further 5 minutes
