Ingredients

For the Curry:

  • 2 teaspoons canola oil
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons peeled and chopped fresh turmeric (available in Asian and Indian markets and well-stocked grocers)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1.2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon Kashmir chile powder or cayenne pepper
  • Kosher salt
  • Fresh lemon juice

For the Chutney:

  • 1/8 cup golden raisins
  • 1/8 cup dried currants
  • 1/4 cup toasted almonds, chopped
  • 2 sprigs cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 cup Major Grey Chutney (find on Amazon or at well-stocked grocery stores, pureed)
  • 3 heads broccoli, cut into 3-inch florets
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil
  • Kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons Curry Oil (below; optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium heat.
  2. Make the curry: Warm the oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant but not browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the turmeric and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the cream, paprika, and chile powder, bring to a simmer, and slowly reduce, allowing the flavors to develop and stirring frequently, 15 to 20 minutes. Adjust the seasoning with salt and lemon juice. Keep warm.
  3. Make the raisin chutney: Plump the raisins and currants in boiling water for 30 seconds. Drain. In a mixing bowl, combine the raisins, currants, almonds, cilantro, and chutney.
  4. Toss the broccoli in the canola oil and 1 teaspoon salt. Grill, turning frequently, until tender, blackened, and crispy around the edges, about 12 minutes. Arrange on a platter and top with the turmeric curry and raisin chutney. Drizzle with the curry oil and serve.
