Method

  • step 1

    Bring a pan of salted water to the boil. Blanch the cauliflower for 3 minutes. Drain and leave while you make the curry base.

  • step 2

    Put the onion, ginger, garlic and 4 tbsp of water in a small food processor or power blender and whizz to a purée.

  • step 3

    Heat the oil in large, wide, lidded frying pan. Add the onion purée and fry gently until lightly golden and all the water has evaporated. Add the spices and fry for 2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the coconut milk and stock, then cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the cauliflower and chickpeas, and simmer without a lid for 10-15 minutes or until the cauliflower is really tender. Stir in the coriander and serve with rice and naans, if you like.

This recipe says "high in protein" yet it only provides one with 10g of protein. That's not high at all

question

Hi, can the cauliflower and chickpea curry be frozen? And if so, do you defrost then microwave? Thanks.

Hi, thanks for your question. Yes this can be frozen (without the rice). You can defrost it in the fridge overnight then reheat in the microwave or a saucepan until piping hot. We hope this helps. Best wishes, olive team.

Loved this recipe. We added leftover green beans and some broccoli and served with toasted tortilla and sour cream. Very tasty :)
