- For the Almond Tamarind Sauce: Heat the butter in a small pan over medium heat. Add in the ginger, garlic, chile, cumin, coriander, pepper, salt to taste and garam masala. Cook, stirring, till fragrant, 3 min. Add in the tamarind paste, sugar, almond paste, coconut lowfat milk and stock. Simmer 10 min. Place in a blender; blend till smooth. Strain, then adjust the salt.
- For the Cauliflower: Heat a saucepan over medium heat. Add in the butter, garlic, ginger and jalapeno. Cook 3 to 4 min. Add in the cauliflower, nutmeg, cumin, coriander, bay leaf and salt and pepper to taste. Cover; cook over medium-low heat till tender, 15 min. Remove the lid; cook till the liquid has evaporated, 5 to 6 min. Add in the mint and cilantro.
- For the Scallops: Season the scallops with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add in the oil. When it smokes, add in the scallops (cook in 2 batches). When browned on the bottom, turn and cook till all sides are browned, 1 1/2 to 2 min total, stirring to keep them from sticking. Add in the butter and allow to foam. Baste the scallops with the butter till they are cooked, 30 seconds.
- Divide the cauliflower among 4 plates. Arrange the scallops around it. Spoon 2 Tbsp. of almond-tamarind sauce on and around the scallops; dust lightly with the garam masala. Garnish with cilantro or possibly basil.
- This recipe yields 4 main-dish servings.
- Comments: To clarify butter, heat 1 stick over low heat. Spoon off foam, then pour off clarified butter.
- Use a mortar and pestle to crack the cumin and coriander.
