Cauliflower Chickpea Curry

This Cauliflower Chickpea Curry features roasted cauliflower florets simmered with chickpeas in a spiced coconut milk sauce enhanced by curry powder, turmeric, garlic, ginger, and lime juice. The roasting adds a caramelized edge to the tender cauliflower, while the sauce provides a creamy and mildly spiced base. The curry is garnished with fresh green onions and cilantro for brightness, served best with jasmine rice and naan bread to complete the meal.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. Place the cauliflower florets on a baking sheet and drizzle with the olive oil. Toss well. Sprinkle all over with salt and pepper and garlic powder. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until tender, golden and slightly charred.
  3. While the cauliflower roasts, start the curry. Heat the other tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium-low heat. Add the onions and the garlic with a big pinch of salt and pepper. Stir in the ginger. Cook, stirring often, until the onions soften, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the curry powder and turmeric. Cook for another 5 minutes, so the spices toast.
  5. Pour in the coconut milk and the stock. Add in the chickpeas and the roasted cauliflower. Stir in the lime juice. Bring the mixture to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 5 to 10 minutes.
  6. Taste and season with more salt and pepper or lime juice as desired. Sprinkle in the green onions, fresh cilantro and serve!
