Steps:
- Rinse the cauliflower, cut into florets and finely chop the stems. Rinse the squash, cut in half lengthwise then cut into 1 cm (approximately 1/3 inch) thick slices. Peel the shallots, garlic and ginger and finely chop.
- Seat 1 tablespoon coconut cream aside. Melt 1 tablespoon coconut cream in a large saucepan, add the spices and cook until fragrant. Add the shallots, garlic and ginger and sauté briefly. Add the cauliflower, tomato juice and coconut milk, cover and simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Sauté the squash in the reserved coconut cream until light golden brown. Add to the curry during the last 5 minutes. Add the lime juice, season with salt and garnish with cilantro.

Steps:
- Clean cauliflower and chop the florets to desired sizes. Optional - heat 3 cups water in a large bowl, add cauliflower florets to the slightly hot water. Leave it for some time. Rinse them under running water and drain them.
- Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard and cumin. When they begin to sizzle add the curry leaves and fry for 30 seconds.
- Add onions and green chilli. Saute until pink or golden.
- Stir in ginger garlic and saute till a nice aroma comes out for about 30 to 60 seconds.
- Then add tomatoes and salt. Saute until the tomatoes turn soft and mushy.
- Add turmeric, red chilli powder, garam masala and coriander powder. Saute for 30 to 60 seconds until the masala smells aromatic.
- Then add cauliflower florets and saute for 1 to 2 mins.
- Pour ½ to 1 cup water or coconut milk and give a good mix. I used 1 cup water at this step. Young cauliflower releases lots of moisture, so be careful not to add a lot of water at one time.
- Cover and cook until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
- If needed add more water or coconut milk to bring the curry to a desired consistency. I added half cup coconut milk at this stage.
- Taste the curry and add more salt if needed. Garnish cauliflower curry with coriander leaves.

Tips:
- Choose fresh and tender zucchini and cauliflower. This will ensure the best flavor and texture in your curry.
- Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the vegetables. This will prevent them from steaming instead of sautéing.
- Use a good quality curry powder. This is the key to a flavorful curry. Look for a curry powder that contains a variety of spices, such as turmeric, cumin, coriander, and chili powder.
- Add coconut milk to the curry for a creamy and rich flavor. You can also use yogurt or heavy cream.
- Season the curry to taste with salt and pepper. You may also want to add a bit of sugar to balance out the flavors.
- Serve the curry with rice, naan, or your favorite side dish.
