Cauliflower Chickpea Korma

Hi, friends! How’s everyone doing in all this heat of summer? It’s so so hot here in Florida!

On hot nights, I absolutely cannot fathom using my oven, and if I’m making something on the stove, it has to be quick! So that means I’m not cooking any meat! Vegetarian it is! Anyone else feel like this?!

Well, we had bought a large head of cauliflower at last week’s farmer’s market and it was just staring at me today to be used. So this vegetarian dish was perfect for using that entire head of cauliflower (and I knew it wouldn’t take long to cook!). I mixed in some fresh spinach, tomatoes and cilantro and this creamy deliciousness was ready!

After mixing the rest together, I served it over a big bowl of rice and devoured it in 2.2 seconds! Not really, but close I’m sure. 🙂 I love curry dishes so much and this is just one more to add to my favorites!

What’s your favorite curry to make? I’d love to hear in the comments below! Happy cooking!
