From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum.

Spicy cauliflower and walnut Indian-style wraps

Prep: 1 hour

Serves 6

For the walnut “meat”

1 small head cauliflower, chopped
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 
125g walnut pieces, chopped
115g onion, diced
2 tsp garlic, minced
½ tsp fresh ginger, minced
1 Thai chilli, stemmed, seeded and finely diced
130ml water
55g tomato paste
40g golden raisins
2 ½ tsp chilli powder
2 tsp garam masala​
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tbsp garlic oil
1 tsp salt, to taste

For the yoghurt raita

250g Greek-style yoghurt
40g cucumber, finely diced
30g walnuts, toasted and ground
1 tbsp fresh mint, chopped
1 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
Lime juice and zest to taste
Sea salt and pepper to taste
6 roti flatbreads

Preheat oven to 245C. Coat cauliflower with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Place on a baking sheet and roast for 25 to 30 minutes or until lightly browned. Reduce oven temperature to 165C and add California walnuts. Leave to toast for 5 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove from oven.

Heat remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté for 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Add garlic, ginger and chilli, and cook for 2 minutes more.

Stir in water, tomato paste, golden raisins, chilli powder, garam masala, cumin, and salt; cook until mixture is thick and excess water has cooked off. Stir in cauliflower mixture and garlic oil. Cook for 3 minutes to let the flavours blend, then remove from heat.

Combine all yoghurt raita ingredients and set aside.

To serve, pile the mixture onto the flatbreads with a dollop of the raita.
