Coconut Cauliflower Curry

Happy Meatless Monday! For my first recipe of the new year, I’ve chosen a sumptuous salt-free curry. Coconut milk, vegetable broth, garlic, and ginger. This intoxicating array of flavors make this a heavenly vegan meal. Not a spice fan? No worries. This curry uses garam masala, a ground spice blend composed of cinnamon, cumin, coriander, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, pepper, mace, star anise, and/or bay leaves. Translation? This curry is fragrant, not fiery, making it super kid-friendly. Add a combination of sweet and regular potatoes for even wider appeal. Serve over steamed brown or basmati rice.

1 T. salt-free garam masala
1 t. ground turmeric
2 T. salt-free tomato paste
2 c. low-sodium vegetable broth

DIRECTIONS

Heat oil in a stockpot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and ginger and cook, stirring, until softened, roughly 5 minutes.

Add the garam masala and turmeric and saute until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Stir in the tomato paste, broth, coconut milk, cauliflower, potatoes, carrots, and tomatoes with juice. Stir well to combine. Raise heat slightly and bring to a boil. Once boiling, lower heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
