Serving size: 4
Prep. time: 15 mins
Cooking time: 45 mins
Ingredients list:
1 large cauliflower, cut into florets
1 tbsp cumin seeds
400g can chickpeas, drained
2 onions, finely sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp mustard seeds
1 tbsp madras curry powder
1 tbsp ground coriander
3cm ginger, peeled and minced
2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp chilli powder
400g can coconut milk
400g can diced tomatoes
200ml vegetable stock
1/4 cup chopped cilantro

Directions:
Boil a pot of water and drop the florets into boiling water for about 3 minutes, then drain and set them aside.
Grab a big pot or pan and toss in the cumin and mustard seeds. Dry roast them for a couple of minutes until they’re popping and super fragrant. Add a splash of veggie stock (or a drizzle of oil), then throw in the onions. Cook until they soften and turn translucent. Stir in the garlic and ginger for another minute or two until everything smells incredible.
Stir in the curry powder, coriander, turmeric, and chili. Let them cook into the onions for a few minutes so the flavours really wake up
Pour in the coconut milk, the diced tomatoes, and the rest of the veggie stock. Stir to bring it all together, then add in your cauliflower florets and chickpeas. Make sure they’re nicely covered in the sauce.
Bring the curry to a gentle boil, then lower the heat, cover it up, and let it simmer away for about 30 minutes. Give it a stir every now and then to keep it from sticking.
Once everything is tender and creamy, take it off the heat. Stir in the fresh cilantro and let the curry sit for a couple of minutes.
Serve it up with your choice of side! it pairs excellently with rice, quinoa, or naan bread. And if you like it spicier, add a little more chili or even fresh green chilies.
