ingredients

1 head cauliflower, broken into florets and halved (about 1 1/2 lbs)
1 ³⁄₄ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 tablespoon sugar
1 cup plain yogurt
¹⁄₄ cup sour cream
¹⁄₃ cup Italian parsley, coarsely chopped
¹⁄₈ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¹⁄₈ teaspoon cayenne pepper
fresh ground black pepper

directions

Fill a 4-quart saucepan with 2 inches of water and bring to a boil over high heat.
Add the cauliflower and 1/4 tsp of the salt.
Partially cover the pan, adjust the heat so the water simmers, and cook the cauliflower until tender when pierced with a fork, about 10 minutes.
Drain completely and transfer to a bowl.
In a small saute pan over medium heat, warm the olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Add the onion and saute until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the curry powder, remaining 1 1/2 tsp of salt, and the sugar.
Stir constantly until the curry is fragrant, 1-2 minutes longer.
Remove from the heat.
Use a fork to mash the cauliflower into very small pieces.
Add the onion mixture and stir to combine.
Using a rubber spatula, stir in the yogurt, sour cream, parsley, nutmeg, cayenne and a few grinds of pepper.
Taste and adjust the seasonings.
Transfer to a serving bowl and serve immediately.

This dip is so flavourful that I agree that you don't need to use it as a dip - just grab a spoon and dig in! I have used cucumber and plain ol' crackers to enjoy this as well. What a healthy treat!!! Made for my adopted chef for Spring PAC 2013. Thanks rickoholic83!

I loved this dip! I quartered the recipe, but won't next time! I was going to use it as a dip, but ended up eating it all, it didn't need anything. Thanks!
