A rich coconut curry broth with onion, garlic, cauliflower, ginger, Indian spices in coconut milk. Flavorful vegan meal and you won’t even miss the meat! 

Hello, 2020. I am so happy to see you and say goodbye to 2019. We experienced a lot of trials but also witnessed so many miracles and blessings this past year. I call it a year of growth! 

One of the things I will be working on this year will be bringing more vegetables into my diet.  This week I will be introducing flavorful bowls that are gluten-free and filled with veggies. Bowls are so popular right now and you can find them on almost every single restaurant menu. 

This Coconut Cauliflower Curry uses cauliflower in place of chicken or even chickpeas.  It is a flavor-packed vegan meal and you will forget you are eating vegetables.

How to make Coconut Cauliflower Curry:

  1. Start by sautéing diced onion in coconut oil until softened. This may take about 8-10 minutes. Add diced ginger, garlic, and cauliflower and stir together. The cauliflower should be bite-size pieces. Make sure to cut off the ends of the cauliflower and use only the florets. 
  2. Add coconut milk and crushed tomatoes. I prefer using full-fat canned coconut milk for maximum creaminess. 
  3. Add Indian spices — curry powder and turmeric. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Serve with sprinkle of fresh lime juice and on top of rice or naan bread. 

I love to use my rice cooker to make cooking rice a breeze. You can find the rice cooker here

    Followed the recipe as written but found it a bit on the sour side. When I heated up the leftovers, I added a little coconut sugar and that evened things out for my palate. I’ll make this again and will play around with some additions to the original recipe, e.g. chicken, green peas, boiled potato, chick peas, shredded carrot, red bell pepper.

    Very tasty recipe with easy to find ingredients. Didn’t deviate from recipe. Will definitely be making often. Thank you!

    This was really good, but I have blood sugar issues and I’m trying to keep it under control with diet and exercise. It gets frustrating at times, eating the same old thing. We made this, last night, but instead of serving it with rice (because of carbs) we shredded some chicken and added it in, along with some Chili powder, curry, cumin and garam masala. It was amazing, and I am so excited that I can have this without worrying about my blood sugar.
