    This cauliflower curry makes such a great weeknight dinner! It’s comforting, packed with protein and healthy vegetables, and it’s super easy to make. It’s vegan, gluten-free, and ready in just 40 minutes!

    Why This Recipe Works

    I’m a big fan of curries! They’re super easy to make and you can use whatever vegetables you have on hand. It’s the ultimate meal for weeknights! 

    For this recipe I chose a combination of cauliflower, peas, potatoes, chickpeas, and bell pepper. The peas and chickpeas provide this curry with a lot of protein, which makes it perfect for vegans and vegetarians. Cauliflower is a great source of nutrients and it’s pretty high in fiber. 

    The bell pepper adds some nice crunch and lots of vitamins. And the potatoes make it super satisfying and filling. 

    For the sauce I used a combination of coconut milk, red curry paste, cumin, and curry powder. Freshly squeezed lime juice perfectly completes the sauce. It’s super creamy and packed with eye-opening flavors! 

    All in all, you need about 40 minutes to make this recipe from start to finish. But the active preparation time is much shorter. More like 10-15 minutes. 

    The cauliflower curry is pretty mild, so it’s also perfect for kids or people who aren’t into spicy food. If you want it to be a bit spicier, you could add more red curry paste or red pepper flakes. 

    Serve it over rice for a comforting, protein-packed, and filling meal for the whole family. 

    What Goes Into This Recipe:

    the ingredients for this recipe on a marble countertop with labels

    • Peas – I used frozen peas. 
    • Coconut Milk – use full-fat canned coconut milk. The recipe doesn’t work with the coconut milk that comes in a carton like almond milk as it’s too thin. 
    • Spices – I used curry powder, cumin, and vegetable broth powder (organic and low sodium).
    • Curry Paste – you need red curry paste for this recipe. Curry paste is not always vegan as some contain shrimp paste. Fortunately, there are many vegan ones. Just check the labels. 
    • Potatoes – I prefer Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes for curries. 
    • Rice – either use Basmati rice or brown rice.
