Spices That Pop
Crush cumin and coriander seeds in a mortar by hand for deeper smell and taste. They'll beat pre-ground stuff any day.
Cozy Vibes
Come home to creamy coconut milk and bold spices that take the chill off a cold day. Grab a spoon of curry and winter suddenly feels pretty nice.
Handy Tips
Brown the onions slowly to get all their natural sweetness out. If you keep the cauliflower bits small, they’ll cook evenly and soak up more sauce.
Switch It Up
Throw in some bell pepper, spinach, or sweet potatoes if you fancy. For an extra kick of protein, add lentils or chickpeas. Skipping cream? Just use more coconut milk instead.

Sides to Try
If you’re not feeling rice or naan, quinoa or glass noodles work just as well. Potatoes cooked right in the curry will fill you up too.
Smart Storing
Leftovers? Keep it in the fridge for up to four days. Pop portions in the freezer and heat them up any time you want a quick meal.
Coconut Milk Magic
Coconut milk makes the sauce extra smooth and keeps things mellow. It's naturally lactose-free and really brings all the spices together.
Works for Everyone
This one fits into any meal plan—it’s plant-based, dairy-free, and vegetarian. And because the ingredients are simple, it’s easy for busy days.
