Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium cauliflower (cut into florets)
- 1 can (400ml) coconut milk
- 1 heaped tablespoon curry paste (mild, medium, or hot based on preference)
- 1 onion (sliced)
- 1 handful fresh coriander (cilantro), chopped
Optional Garnishes:
- Lime wedges (for serving)
- Chili flakes (for extra heat)
- Toasted nuts (for crunch)
Instructions
Step 1: Sauté the Onion
A well-cooked onion builds the flavor base.
- Heat a pan over medium heat and add a splash of oil.
- Add the sliced onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden.
Step 2: Cook the Cauliflower
Roasting or sautéing enhances the natural sweetness of the cauliflower.
- Add the cauliflower florets to the pan and cook for 5 minutes, stirring to coat in the onion’s flavor.
Step 3: Add the Curry Paste
A good curry paste brings depth and warmth.
- Stir in 1 heaped tablespoon of curry paste and mix well, coating the cauliflower evenly.
- Let it cook for 2 minutes, allowing the spices to release their aroma.
Step 4: Pour in the Coconut Milk
A creamy sauce brings everything together.
- Pour in the coconut milk and stir well.
- Simmer on low heat for 15 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and the sauce has thickened.
Step 5: Finish with Fresh Coriander
A burst of freshness balances the curry.
- Stir in chopped fresh coriander (cilantro) just before serving.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
