Coconut and cauliflower curry

Cauliflower and chickpeas in a mild coconut and curry powder sauce, with spinach folded in at the end. Gentle rather than hot, so it suits a quiet midweek dinner.

Coconut and cauliflower curry

Method

  1. Cut the cauliflower into small florets and slice the tender part of the stalk. Chop the onion finely, peel and grate the ginger, and drain and rinse the chickpeas.
  2. Warm the olive oil in a large pot over a medium heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and cook for about 6 minutes until soft, then stir in the ginger and curry powder for 1 minute.
  3. Add the cauliflower, coconut milk, chickpeas and 100 ml of water. Cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring once or twice, until a knife goes easily into the cauliflower stalks.
  4. Meanwhile, rinse the rice in a sieve and put it in a small lidded pan with 300 ml of cold water and a pinch of salt. Boil, cover, cook on the lowest heat for 12 minutes, then switch off the heat and leave the lid on.
  5. Stir the spinach into the pot until it wilts, about 2 minutes, then season well with salt and pepper.
  6. Fluff the rice with a fork and spoon the cauliflower and sauce over it.

Tip If you want more heat, stir in a pinch of chilli flakes with the curry powder, or serve with a spoonful of chilli sauce.
