Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 1 can Coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 1 cup Vegetable broth
- 1 medium Onion
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Separate the cauliflower into florets and rinse thoroughly. Set aside.
Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Sauté the diced onion and minced garlic for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
Add turmeric, cumin, and coriander to the skillet. Stir well to coat the onions and garlic with the spices. Cook for an additional 1 minute.
Transfer the sautéed onion and garlic mixture to the slow cooker. Add the cauliflower florets, coconut milk, and vegetable broth.
Season with salt and black pepper, then stir gently to combine all ingredients.
Set the slow cooker to low heat and cook for 4-5 hours, or until the cauliflower is tender and infused with the flavors of the sauce.
Before serving, taste the dish and adjust seasoning with additional salt or black pepper if needed.
Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh cilantro for a burst of freshness.
Serve warm as a main dish with rice or as a flavorful side dish.
