1/2 cup coconut flour
1 cup raw cashew nuts (powdered/ground)
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp dried oregano
2 tbsp nutritional yeast flakes
Salt as per taste
3 cups blanched broccoli florets
1 cup vegan mozzarella (shredded)

Instructions

Preheat oven at 400 degree Fahrenheit and prepare an 8 inch rectangular/square baking dish.
In a saucepan combine coconut milk, coconut flour and powdered cashew nuts. Mix well until no lumps are left.
Now add turmeric powder, cumin powder and chili powder. Stir again until the spices are well mixed.
Lastly, add oregano, nutritional yeast and salt. Stir again and let it cook for couple of boils on a medium flame. Then turn off the flame.
In the baking dish spread 1 cup of blanched broccoli florets at the bottom. Now, pour the entire cheese sauce over them. Add another layer of the rest of the broccoli florets. Lastly, top it with vegan mozzarella cheese.
Place the baking dish at the top rack of the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the cheese melts nicely.
Serve warm with some quinoa or mashed potato and a salad.
