Method
- Slice the spring onions, grate the ginger and crush the garlic. Cut the cauliflower into florets and slice the stalk.
- Warm the oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Cook the spring onions for 2 minutes, until soft.
- Stir in the ginger, garlic, turmeric and cumin for 1 minute.
- Add the cauliflower, the stock cube and 600 ml of boiling water. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, until the cauliflower is very soft.
- Pour in the coconut milk and blend until completely smooth. Add a splash of water if it is too thick, then season.
- Toast the pumpkin seeds in a dry pan for 2 minutes, until they pop, and scatter over each bowl.
Tip Blend until completely smooth and, if it is thick, loosen with water rather than more coconut milk. Turmeric stains, so mind your worktops.
