Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon yellow curry powder
- 2 garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Remove the leaves and stem from the head of cauliflower, and break it into small florets. Rinse them thoroughly under running water.
Step 2
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Step 3
Add the cauliflower florets to a large pot of boiling water and cook for about 8-10 minutes or until the florets are fork-tender. Drain the cauliflower in a colander.
Step 4
In the same pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute or until fragrant.
Step 5
Stir in the yellow curry powder, allowing it to toast lightly for 30 seconds to release its aroma.
Step 6
Pour in the coconut milk and stir to combine. Let the mixture warm through for about 1-2 minutes.
Step 7
Return the cooked cauliflower florets to the pot and mix thoroughly until all florets are coated with the coconut curry mixture.
Step 8
Using an immersion blender or a traditional blender, puree the cauliflower mixture until smooth and creamy. If using a traditional blender, you may need to blend in batches.
Step 9
Taste the mash and season with salt and black pepper as needed.
Step 10
Transfer the cauliflower mash to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro if desired.
Step 11
Serve hot as a flavorful side dish or enjoy on its own!
