Ingredients

Instructions 

  • In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.
  • Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Add the ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, garam masala, and chili powder. Stir well and cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices.
  • Pour in the coconut milk and tomato puree, mixing until well combined.
  • Add the cauliflower florets to the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce. Bring to a simmer.
  • Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in the maple syrup and season with salt to taste. Cook for an additional 5 minutes uncovered, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  • Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.

Notes

For a spicier dish, increase the amount of chili powder. Serve with rice or naan for a complete meal.
