Ingredients

  • 1 cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 1 cup red lentils
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onions, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 inch fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • salt to taste
  • ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Place a pot on the stove over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Stir frequently with the wooden spoon until the onions become translucent.

Add the grated ginger, ground cumin, curry powder, turmeric powder, and cayenne pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine and cook for another 2 minutes until the spices are fragrant.

Add the cauliflower florets and red lentils to the pot. Stir well to combine, making sure the cauliflower and lentils are fully coated in the spice mixture.

Pour in the vegetable broth. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and allow the mixture to simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender and the lentils are fully cooked. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

While the curry is simmering, use this time to prepare any desired side dishes, such as rice or naan bread.

After the curry has finished cooking, taste and add salt and pepper as needed. For a smoother texture, use a blender to pulse the curry until it reaches your desired consistency.

Serve the curry hot, with your choice of side dishes. Enjoy your delicious Cauliflower and Red Lentil Curry. It's flavorful and satisfying, making it a perfect meal any day of the week.

Awesome leftovers for days

I've made this a couple times now. Double the turmeric and cayenne. And definitely blend about a quarter to third of the mixture, or else it will be more like a chunky soup than a creamy curry.
