Ingredients

• 1 medium head Cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 3 large Garlic cloves
• 1 inch piece Fresh ginger
• 1 medium Tomato
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro leaves

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the cauliflower by cutting it into small florets. Rinse them under cool water, then drain and set aside.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion, mince the garlic cloves, and grate the ginger. Dice the tomato.

Step 3

Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion to the skillet, sautéing for about 5 minutes or until they become translucent and lightly golden.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the diced tomato to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing it to soften.

Step 7

Sprinkle the ground coriander, ground cumin, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt over the sautéed mixture. Stir well to combine the spices with the tomato-onion mixture.

Step 8

Add the cauliflower florets to the skillet, stirring until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.

Step 9

Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender but still holds its shape.

Step 10

Once the cauliflower is cooked, taste and adjust the salt if necessary.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro leaves before serving.

Step 12

Serve warm as a side dish or a main course along with your favorite Paleo accompaniments.
