Tips for Success:
- Flavor Profile: This is a delicious curry that is brimming with tasty curry flavor. It is completely delicious featuring cauliflower and peas.
- Curry Powders: All curry powders are not the same. There are tons of curry options and blends. Use your favorite curry blend. Each blend tends to accent different spices within the blend. We have found that some blends are heavy with turmeric and tend to be slightly acidic on the backend of the palate and others may contain a lot of heat. Feel free to adjust the amount based upon the curry blend selected.
- Lite Unsweetened Coconut Milk: You can also use unsweetened plain plant milk, but you will need to adjust the curry powder (not use as much) as the light coconut milk is thicker and has more flavor than plain unsweetened plant milk. Light Unsweetened Coconut Milk is Whole Food Plant Based compliant, full fat unsweetened coconut milk is not.
- Steamed Cauliflower Florets: Make sure the cauliflower florets have reached the desired tenderness before adding it to the curry skillet.
Leftovers and Freezing:
Leftovers will generally keep 5 days in the refrigerator. Store in a covered container.
This dish can be frozen.
Pantry Products:
- Sea Salt: Please adjust the sea salt based upon your family’s sea salt preferences and/or based upon dietary needs.
Kitchen Equipment:
- Large skillet

I love this dish (though since I added potatoes, it’s prolly more like your potato cauliflower curry!) I used Penzey’s curry powder – 2 tsp regular plus 1 tsp hot, which was perfect for my spice preference. I also did not pre-cook the cauli, or thaw the peas, just tossed it all in my wok. I also tossed in a handful of golden raisins. Holds in the fridge well! Looking forward to trying many more of your recipes.
