Butter Chicken Style Cauliflower Curry

Butter Chicken seems like it would be an ‘off limits’ meal for any vegetarian, but with a couple adjustments and replacements, you can make a delicious butter chicken style dish that the whole family can enjoy! Adjust the chili powder to your taste; needless to say: the more you add, the spicier the sauce will be. The cashews in this recipe make the sauce thick and creamy. Don’t be alarmed if your sauce is slightly watery before you cook it. While the sauce simmers, it will thicken up and you will end up with a thick creamy butter chicken style sauce.
