Summary

A creamy, vibrant yellow curry with cauliflower and chickpeas, rich with coconut milk, turmeric, and fragrant aromatics. Balanced sweet-salty heat makes for a comforting, weeknight-friendly dish in just 30 minutes.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat a large pot or skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the water or coconut oil, then the shallot, garlic, ginger, and serrano pepper. Sauté 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.

  2. 2

    Stir in the curry paste (start with the smaller amount). Cook 2 minutes more.

  3. 3

    Add coconut milk, turmeric, maple syrup (or coconut sugar), and coconut aminos (or tamari/soy sauce). Stir and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

  4. 4

    Add the cauliflower and chickpeas, reduce heat to maintain a simmer (low to medium-low), cover, and cook 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender and the flavors meld. Avoid boiling.

  5. 5

    Taste and adjust: add more coconut sugar/maple for sweetness, coconut aminos for saltiness, turmeric for earthiness, or curry paste for more spice.

  6. 6

    Serve as is or over rice, quinoa, or greens. Garnish with sesame seeds, cilantro, lime wedges, and diced red onion as desired.

  7. 7

    Store leftovers refrigerated up to 5 days or frozen up to 1 month. Reheat gently on the stovetop, adding coconut milk if needed.
