Ingredients
Serves: 2-3
- 2 tsp coconut oil
- 1 brown onion, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp chopped coriander stalks
- ½ tbsp curry powder

To serve:
- 1–1 ½ cups cooked brown rice or quinoa

Method
- Heat the coconut oil in a large saucepan over a medium high heat. Sauté the onion for 2-3 minutes or until translucent. Add in the coriander stalks and spices and fry for 2 minutes or until fragrant.
- Add the cauliflower and stir to coat in the curry spice mix. Allow to brown for 2-3 minutes before pouring in the lentils, coconut milk and the water or stock. Season to taste.
