Cauliflower Coconut Curry

5 from 1 vote
We absolutely love to eat curry in our house, it’s truly a comfort food for us. This vegan, plant-based cauliflower curry with coconut is creamy, rich, delicious, and filled with Indian spices. It’s a crowd-pleaser and extremely easy to make because it’s ready in under 30 minutes and only requires one pot. Paired with some rice or bread it makes the perfect plant-based meal for a weeknight dinner! It’s also great for people who follow a vegan-keto lifestyle, especially when served with Almond Coconut Flatbread!
