Healthy one-pot cauliflower curry with napkin this …

I have been itching to create another one pot meal for the blog and I immediately fell hard for this healthy one-pot cauliflower curry. Like all of you, life is busy and I don’t always have a lot of time to get dinner on the table but I want to still eat something healthy that tastes good. One-pot dinners like this cauliflower curry are here for you! All you need to recreate it is a handful of simple ingredients, half of which you probably already have in your pantry. If you don’t have a large, deep skillet, I would use a saucepan or dutch oven to whip up this curry.

What is this cauliflower stew with curry made out of?

This cauliflower stew isn’t just easy to make in one pot, but you also only need a couple of ingredients to make it for dinner tonight! The fresh ingredients you’ll need include: yellow onion, garlic, cauliflower, kale, and cilantro. Feel free to switch up the veggies here too. Don’t have kale? Use fresh spinach instead. You could even add more veggies like peas or potatoes or carrots, etc. Don’t have fresh veggies on hand? Frozen cauliflower works great too. To complete the dish, you’ll combine those veggies with a few pantry staples like: canned diced tomatoes, coconut milk, chickpeas, and curry powder.

Is curry healthy?

Yes! One of the things I love about curry dishes like this one is that they are loaded with vegetables. Sneak in some plant-based protein with the addition of the chickpeas to make it a complete meal when served over your favorite grain or rice. Also, curry powder is loaded with antioxidants, which are important for scavenging free radicals that cause the cell damage that contributes to chronic disease.

What is curry powder?

Curry powder is one of those spices that I always try to keep in my pantry for dishes just like this one! Cauliflower and curry powder are a match made in heaven. (Check out this blood orange moroccan salad for another curry-cauliflower recipe!) Curry powder is a blend of a variety of spices such as: coriander, cumin, turmeric, fenugreek, mustard, and chili peppers.

    Am I crazy, or am I missing when the kale and chickpeas come in? How long should I have those cook? Thanks!

    This was a great, pretty easy meal and plenty of leftovers. I didn’t have as much liquid as it looks like in your pictures, but probably varies depending on how much cauliflower is used. I might have used too much in mine, but it was still delicious and my husband has already asked for this meal again so that’s a win!

    Haven’t made the recipe yet, but was thinking about reducing the saturated fat content by substituting a different milk. Would almond or soy milk work ok, and if so, what would you recommend from a taste perspective (or another milk perhaps?). Thanks.

      Hi Linda,
      You could use lite coconut milk which has half as much saturated fat as full fat coconut milk. I think soy milk (unsweetened and unflavored) would probably work best as an alternative. (I haven’t tried it yet though!)

    Delicious. I added broth, cumin, garlic salt and pepper but other than that stuck to the recipe exactly. There was a lot of food and I’m sure it will make good leftovers too.
