Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Nonstick cooking spray
2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
One 13.5-ounce can unsweetened coconut milk
4 cloves garlic, finely grated
1 tablespoon finely grated peeled fresh ginger (from a 1- to 2-inch piece)
1 serrano chile pepper, stemmed and finely chopped (remove seeds for less heat)
2 1/2 teaspoons curry powder, preferably Madras
Kosher salt
Two 15.5-ounce cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
2 cups lightly packed baby spinach, roughly chopped
1 1/2 cups basmati rice
1/2 medium head cauliflower, cut into small florets (about 3 heaping cups)
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
Cilantro leaves, plain whole-milk yogurt and lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
  • Whisk the vegetable broth, coconut milk, garlic, ginger, serrano, curry powder and 2 teaspoons salt together in a medium bowl until combined. Add the chickpeas and spinach and stir to coat.
  • Spread the rice evenly in the bottom of the prepared dish. Pour in the coconut-milk mixture, distributing the chickpeas and spinach evenly over the rice. Scatter the cauliflower and onion over the top, making sure to go all the way to the edge of the pan (it's okay if the cauliflower is not completely submerged in liquid).
  • Cover tightly with foil and bake until the vegetables have softened but are still vibrant, about 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until the cauliflower is charred in spots and the rice is cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes more. Let sit for 5 minutes to allow the rice to absorb more of the moisture. Serve topped with cilantro, a drizzle of yogurt and lime wedges for squeezing.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cauliflower: Fresh cauliflower florets are the best choice for this recipe. They should be firm and white, with no brown spots.
  • Roast the spices: Roasting the spices in oil before adding them to the curry will help to bring out their flavor.
  • Use a good quality curry paste: The curry paste is the key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a paste that is made with fresh ingredients and has a good balance of flavors.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the curry, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the cauliflower from cooking evenly.
  • Serve with rice or naan: Curried cauliflower is traditionally served with rice or naan. However, you can also serve it with quinoa, couscous, or your favorite grain.

Curried cauliflower with chickpeas and tomatoes is a delicious and healthy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a new vegetarian dish to try, give this recipe a try!
