Malay Cauliflower Curry

Bursting with flavours from so many aromatics in this creamy, spicy, Malay inspired curry, a fabulous one for my vegan fam and #MeatFreeMonday.

A curry paste base comprises chillis, shallots, garlic, ginger, galangal, fresh turmeric root, cumin, coriander, lemongrass, soy and cashew nuts… it’s all blitzed into a paste in the food processor.  The paste is then cooked with a little coconut cream, stock and whole spices before the cauliflower and potatoes are added. 

I can’t get enough of this one! You got to try it soon!
