Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 tablespoons refined coconut oil, divided
  • 3/4 cup raw cashews
  • 6 shallots, peeled and halved
  • 1 teaspoon black mustard seeds
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 4 large dried red chilies
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 medium eggplant, cubed
  • 14 oz. can unsweetened coconut milk
  • salt to taste
  • 1 medium cauliflower, cut in florets

Instruction

  • Put 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a large saucepan over medium heat.
  • Add the cashews and shallots.
  • Cook for 5 minutes, stirring often until the cashews begin to brown.
  • Add the mustard seeds (and curry leaves if you have them) and cook until the seeds begin to pop.
  • Add the garlic, ginger, turmeric, curry powder, chili powder, chilies, red bell pepper, and eggplant.
  • Cook for five minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Add the coconut milk.
  • Cover partially, and let simmer for 20 minutes over low heat.
  • Rice the cauliflower by putting the florets into a food processor with the blade.
  • Do this in batches because otherwise some florets get riced and some are left chunky. Small batches is key.
  • In a separate pan with the remaining coconut oil over medium-high heat, cook the cauli rice for about 3 -5 minutes until warm and just starting to lightly brown. This isn’t a necessary step, I just wanted my “rice” to be warm and cooked a bit.
  • Place the cauli rice on a dish or bowl and serve your curry on top.
  • Watch out for the red chilies!! Pick them out before serving.
