Method
Begin by heating a large pan or griddle over medium heat and melting 1 tablespoon of butter to coat the surface evenly. Add the cauliflower florets and red onion, sautéing them until they achieve a desirable golden hue and seasoning them generously with salt to enhance their flavor.
Make a space in the center of the pan and add another tablespoon of butter. Next, add the ground venison, stirring and flipping frequently until the meat is browned and cooked through. Sprinkle the garam masala over the mixture, mixing well to ensure the spices evenly coat the ingredients and allow the flavors to meld together.
Once the spices have incorporated fully, sprinkle the shredded cheese over the mixture and allow it to melt slightly.
Place the naan flatbreads and cook them until they are crispy and toasted to your liking. Once the naan is toasted, remove it from the pan and spread the venison and vegetable mixture evenly over each piece. Top each naan with additional cheese, sliced tomatoes, and chopped cilantro.
In a small bowl, mix the plain yogurt with tamarind paste until well combined, creating a tangy sauce. Drizzle over the assembled flatbreads and serve.
