- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets
- 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 (14-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Cooked rice, for serving
- Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3 minutes until it starts to soften.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the curry powder and ground cumin. Stir for 30 seconds to toast the spices lightly.
Add the cauliflower florets and chickpeas to the skillet. Pour in the coconut milk and add the salt. Stir everything to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover the skillet and cook for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the cauliflower is tender.
Serve the curry over cooked rice and top each portion with chopped cilantro.
Simmer the curry uncovered for the last few minutes if you want a thicker sauce. Leftovers reheat well on the stove with a splash of water to loosen the sauce. Use frozen cauliflower florets in a pinch, but add them straight from the bag and extend the simmer time by 3 minutes.
