I don’t cook cauliflower that often because of its bland flavor and colorless texture.

This vegetable even though high in nutrition, I feel isn’t as palatable and exciting as other vegetables.

My family definitely can go to any extent to avoid it. But in the process of cooking cauliflower to make it taste friendly. I learnt that if this vegetable was seasoned very well and cooked properly can be liked as much as other vegetables.

I came up with a medley of flavors with a variety of different ingredients for this recipe, to make cauliflower as appealing as possible.

Cauliflower in Kale Coconut Curry has the flavor of spices, coconut, nutrient rich kale leaves, and of course cauliflower florets.

How to make Cauliflower in Kale Coconut Curry

Firstly, I sauteed cauliflower in a nonstick pan in little oil.

Secondly, I blended onion, kale and coconut which allowed me to bring out the aroma and flavor of coconut prominently.

Ingredients

Next, I poured the blended kale paste over sauteed cauliflower.

Then, I gently tossed them.

Later, I seasoned it with Indian spices.

Lastly, I simmered it for a while and served hot with cumin rice and naan/paratha.

We all devoured this entree happily.

This is my regular entree recipe for working nights from now on and it takes only about 30 minutes to be ready and served.

It is not impossible to feed nutritious food to our families. Sometimes it might take a little while to suit to our taste requirement. However, if we focus a liiittllleee on what and how we cook we can serve delicious and healthy food and yet see smiling faces of our loved ones all day long 🙂

    This looks and sounds delicious! I grew up thinking the same thing about cauliflower but have also learned that I love it if it’s well seasoned. The coconut milk is a great idea and I love the taste when it’s caramelized from being roasted. I’ve also found cooking it in vegetable broth gives it a lot of flavor as well.
