- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 1 cup Vegetable broth

Instructions
Heat the oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook until they begin to break down and become a soft paste, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the turmeric, cumin, coriander, paprika, and garam masala, and stir well to toast the spices for about 1 minute.
Pour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth, stirring to combine into a creamy consistency.
Add the shredded jackfruit or cauliflower florets, ensuring they are fully coated in the curry sauce.
Season with salt and black pepper, and let the curry simmer over low-medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes, or until the jackfruit/cauliflower is tender.

Garnish the curry with fresh cilantro before serving.
