• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned)
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1 cup water
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
• 1 whole lime (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Prep the vegetables: Cut the cauliflower into florets, peel and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes, finely chop the onion, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger.

Step 2

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly golden.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the ground turmeric, cumin, coriander, garam masala, and cayenne pepper, and cook for 30 seconds to toast the spices.

Step 6

Add the diced tomatoes, coconut milk, and water to the skillet. Stir well to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.

Step 7

Add the diced potatoes to the skillet, cover, and let cook for 10 minutes.

Step 8

After 10 minutes, add the cauliflower florets to the skillet. Stir to coat them in the sauce, cover again, and cook for another 10–15 minutes until the potatoes and cauliflower are tender.

Step 9

Season with salt and adjust spices to taste.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve hot with lime wedges on the side, if desired.
