Notes

  • Curry will thicken even more once cooked and refrigerated. Add more vegetable broth, coconut milk, milk, or warm water once ready to reheat.
  • Make-ahead - for even a quicker meal, you could boil or steam the cauliflower a day or two before. Once ready to eat, follow the instructions and once all the ingredients are added, just simmer until the curry thickens to your liking.
  • It is still a relatively mild creamy curry. To make it spicier, add red pepper flakes, more red curry paste, ginger, garlic.
